Bibs with NAMES

you are SOOOOOO busted. Find a different race. The RD is already looking to ban you for life.

I know the RD, she will NOT ban you. Idle threat. Run it, you paid for it you have every right to do it.

Someone paid to enter, they have a license to run it. They just transfered that license to you.

Run free and proud Carol! No one will ever know.

And yes, even if you run with someone else's number, it does qualify as running a marathon.

I don't see how one can run free and proud under the pretense that no one will know.

That should be the quote of the day.

Duck out! You are violating the rules. Some runners might think it is cool, but I think you suck. You did not get in - deal with it. You can not have everything. You are about to dishonor the work of those that organize this marathon.

As for Carol, she should not have sold the bib. The race is so cheap anyway. Even if this race was for profit (like Chicago, Columbus, etc.) it would probably still be against the rules. But this race is all volunteer and the money goes to a great running club.

I will look for the Carol-man on the course and encourage all to boo him away. ;) All race directors expect a certain number of no-shows and creating a secondary market for race bibs will screw up that number.

At least duck out before the finish, because even if you do not make every step of the 26.2, you still did not finish. Entry is one of those things you must do. You will still screw up somebody's time unless you finish last.

Should I still run the race?

As long as you have sex with a man right after you finish I think it's OK.

Wasn't the last pope's name Karol?

However, I seem to have gotten myself into quite a debacle. How can I relate the former pope to a marathon, and not ask the natural and obvious question, "Who would win a head-to-head race on the Milwaukee Marathon course...the former Pope (back when he was alive, of course), with divine intervention in his back pocket, or the legendary Jason Rexing, who depending on the situation, has called on both divine, and satanic intervention, and further has proven to possess mental and physical strength as of yet unmatched by any member (past or present) of the human race"?

The club sold the bib. They knew that person could run and so they have an obligation to have a space for that runner. It is BS for the race to claim we don't have space since we assume we are seeling stuff that not everyone will use. Well guess what, someone wants to use it.

Either try to alter the bib to look like "Carl" or pin the bib to your shorts so only a portion shows. It will look like you have a bib, but if you cover the bib with your shirt no one will know.

Just run!

Good luck qualifying for Boston!

Man, the more I look at these threads the more I realize that this website is full of losers and dickheads. People tattling on people for bibs, putting people down for their times and opinions.

How the hell do you think the person will BQ when his name is not going to show up in the results? let me guess..government educated.

Use some white out and make it "Carl"

Sheez...just fold away everything but the number. You wouldn't be the first to do this. When I was younger, I used to see the veteran road racers fold every bit of white space away.

I always thought it was a good idea to promote the sponsor, so I've never done this.

Good news, I found another person to sell me HIS bib, so I now longer need to figure out what to do with the chick bib.

All I need now is to get my $$ back for the "Carol" bib since she sold me an unusable bib. I do not get the bib till packet pick up.

Thanks for all your help and support.

Thank you for confirming that you are a complete idiot.

The irony is he's probably gay too.

Are you interested in selling the bib to a CHICK?
