There are numerous reasons for putting a cap on the race. These reasons include: 1. It is important to anger the maximum number of runners and message board posters in middle Tennessee as possible. 2. I believe that it is important to protect as many people in middle Tennessee from flying monkey attacks as possible. 3. We'd like to retain a small, intimate feel where we can make sure every runner has their needs adequately met. 4. There simply are not enough fools out there to open it up to many more than 200. 5. Metro Parks do not want us to overtake all of Percy Warner Park with hordes of runners, but would rather us limit the impact and keep things small. 6. The people who actually signed up for and ran this thing (i.e., pay for it) have nearly unanimously asked that we keep it small. 7. I am darn lazy and I just don't have the energy to deal with many more registrants with my volume of spare time. 8. The Nashville Striders, which graciously support and manage the race, have asked that we keep it manageable so that we do not strain their resources. 9. We like to provide door prizes for as many of the runners as possible, provided by our other gracious sponsors; increasing the number would put a strain on the sponsors. 10. It is hard enough reminding just 200 people that the real name of the marathon is the Harpeth Hills Flying Monkey Marathon and that they would do well to remember the monkeys come race day.
