I have a major problem with this lawsuit because volunteers have been working every race course, small and large, for as long as racing has been an industry.
I have even helped to create a race in our city from scratch, enlisting the help of the city, the community services department and a local high school for a blended community and school 5k cross country race. All of the time was volunteer time and the only entities that took in money were the xc team of the school and a small amount to city parks.
Every one of us that worked the race knew it was volunteer time.
I have an issue with a professor who is not an athlete doing this lawsuit.
No race times exist for her. She does not understand the jurisdiction so they should throw it out.
