There are a couple of problems with your rumor and accusations.
1) it sounds like you have never run Parvaneh's races
2) you don't know Larry's schedule
3) you shouldn't make these accusations unless you KNOW
This is what I KNOW from personal experience running Parvaneh's races
1) Parvaneh USUALLY walks with Larry when he is there
2) While running Parvaneh's races I WITNESSED Larry leave for an Oregon race and then fly back to do Parvaneh's TWICE. That's right, I was with him the same day he was at other races. Larry typically does this, he lives in the area and flies all over but if he can get in one of Parvaneh's races he does, and DID, so yes he does know she is using him in the results, he is using the results.
3) Parvaneh - if she hasn't already done the marathon will walk with Larry. This is a normal occurrence for several people who complete the race since it's a multi day event, it's not a race, it's an endurance challenge. So many people will have VERY similar if not EXACT times.
4) you state that Parvaneh was upset that someone at the race was getting more notoriety that herself. I find this laughable, because on two occasions while I was at the aid station Parvaneh talked me up to complete strangers about me doing 13 marathons in 13 days, NOT ONCE mentioning how great she is and how many she has done.
5) I know for a FACT that Parvaneh and Larry take advantage of early/alternate starts if they are available. A LOT if not MOST marathons have an early start and as long as the marathon is run within those timelines -it is good.
I know for a FACT that when you take early start on some races you can in fact NOT get a picture. This is because the photographers aren't on the course yet. I have had this happen, so your accusation then would stem to everyone who ever took an early start.
I was very upset by this the further I got into the marathons on the event with her putting on, as SO many people come to run them, are bussed in to them by schools and churches, and to them this race is important and well put on. Parvaneh, or one of her coaches will even run with a person should they have issues as it is a lap course. She is giving and makes sure that no runner is left behind. I witnessed her painstakingly making so many amenities available, not sleeping, and going the extra mile for us. She doesn't boast about herself at all at the races. She actually gets the runners information and announces it before the races, of our "superstardom".
As a follow up to that. MOST athletes that have done something great, use that information in advertising etc, so people know they aren't dealing with a nobody. Many races use Bart Yasso and others as marketing points so why can't she? She is a legend.
When I signed up for these races someone who had read your post and believed it told me about all the issues with Parvaneh and directed me to here. I was concerned greatly that I had wasted my money, I was afraid that what you said was true.
Finally as to the new accusation about BadWater; that's ONE thing here I can't speak from witness but I do know you have a large crew with you and it's a lot of money. It's a super hard race and it's not like you can just jump in a van and jump out because CREW is everywhere. So are you saying she got her entire crew to lie for her? That's absurd. No one who is a runner will vouch for a cheater.
This is a witchhunt and unfounded. You have no physical evidence of anything, all you have are accusations and hearsay and that is not fair. What if someone did that to you?
I have never been more grateful that someone like you ended up being so wrong.
I finally realized that no matter what, when someone does something great there will be people like you who try to knock them down, which is sad.... is it jealousy? The fact that you are unhappy with your own life?
As to the mention of virtual races - these actually are very huge
Christmas Story - Christmas 5K has one
Sandyhook Elementary had a virtual race for people to run and then raise money for families
Florida Beach Halfathons has numerous ones throughout the year
I can keep going and going. They may not be a recognizable race for HF or MM count BUT, they allow people to do something healthy and get the medal from that race; which is huge for a lot of bling people.
All you have to do is google virtual races and a slew of them will come up, but I have ran these above for the fun medal and to stay healthy. How is offering people something for staying healthy bad?
Finally, in order for Guiness to give out the records these people hold, they have to have certified statements, witness statements!! from Race Directors to count the races they are submitting.... Are you saying that she got 250+ people to lie?
Really?
I think you and everyone else should actually do some research before speaking again about it.
I thought long and hard about saying something because people like you won't believe anyways BUT someone needs to say something because you are all just trying to find something. I feel bad that you don't have the facts like me.
