Open Letter to Marathon and running community:
We encourage you to continue your training for this year's marathon and to sign up if you haven't already. it will be a great year and we have many changes to improve the overall experience.
In response to some recent submissions we are receiving relating to the 2014 marathon, please be advised of the following. We assembled a panel of experts to review any concerns, we're no strangers to running, you know the rules and so do I. A healthy Marathon raising money for charity is what we are thinking of. A lot of races would not even have looked at results that far back, but we did, you wouldn't get this from any other race. At this point, we just wanna tell you how we're feeling, and try to make you understand.
Many of you seem to feel that you are never gonna give up, it is our intent to never let runners down. At VIA we are not going to do the run around and desert you. Many of you are crying that the results tell a lie and hurt you. Our heart aches for the marathon and charity community but it has gone on too long, it is time to heal, all of us feel that we know what's been going on. Some of you seem to know think it is a game and you're gonna play it, but you're too blind to see you are hurting our community. We do consider and review anything sent to us but will not always respond or acknowledge acceptance.
We will have no further comment and have to say goodbye.
