Subject: RE: Today's poll: Boston Marathon charity runners--yes/no?
Body:

Considering that Patriots Day is no longer a holiday for most, I don't think the race would go on as planned if the BAA didn't have the charity angle.

One of the reasons all of the various city governments are willing to put up with the race because it gives back. Community support counts in these decisions as well. If you cut out the charities, you lose the community support and you lose the race (in its current form). It just takes one town along the route to say "no".
