feel free to let the RNR know this I am sending emails trying to make them aware of the situation and anyone else poking them and making a fuss would help.

I used the SUBMIT A CORRECTION function in RnR results to ask for a DQ for Samantha.
Submitted a head's up message through their contact page. Hopefully this will be resolved shortly.
Need to contact the people that advertise on their website. They wouldn't want to be associated with this group if they knew they were doing this.
I sent a note to my contact at Competitor Group. I will be watching for "him-"her" in Last Vegas :)
Found same guy mugging in Chicago, Denver and LA. LA he/she placed in the age group. Chicago and Denver he ran slow. Samantha must have a Tour Pass and is loaning it out.
Maybe that guy identifies as a female. Who are you to determine his gender? Seriously.
I agree that he needs to run in his own bib, but you don't get to say that he is female or male. He gets to determine that.
A lot of judgey people on here, today. I am glad the RnR folks are allowing runners to participate in their chosen gender and age categories.
Just kidding, turn her in!!!

I also submitted a correction form. Hopefully RnR does the right thing here and sooner rather than later….

You guys are awesome thank you. Some guys from slow twitch where I put up the first thread went over to this woman FB page and asked her about why a man was running with her bib. Her response was to delete all comments and shut down her FB page.

I direct a couple races and proof results for one decent sized marathon. We care, as do a lot of my colleagues. Some RDs don't, that pisses me off. In my position, I'd value a report from another runner like this, so I can at least check it out. We try to give finishers the benefit of the doubt, but when the evidence is this blatant it's an easy removal from the results.

is that gold record in the photos an age group award?
#2 rule about using someone elses bib is do not cross the finish.
#1 rule is don't do this unless the event allows official transfers!
Bibs should never be transferable and doing this should result in DQ of both entrants and prevent them from entering the event ever again.
How in any way can you justify this?
BTW, this seems to happen a lot. Most RDs don't care either.
I ran the Boilermaker under a friends mom's bib. I just didn't wear a chip so I wasn't in the final results. I ran through the finish and just got my time on my watch
No harm no foul.
Would the clients on the training company have grounds to sue for their money back? If they did not get the results they wanted, but they were led to believe that the person coaching them had falsified their own accomplishments?
Not sure where the burden of proof would be. I guess if the Sweets had testimony from other clients that showed they were good coaches, they might be in the clear.
Why people always be lying?

I have no issues with what you did here.
A lot of this could be cleaned up if races provided for a method to officially transfer bibs. Some local race experimented a few years back but I guess it didn't work out because I don't believe they offer it anymore.
With the price of registration and how early you have to register for the popular races it can only be expected there are people that will give/sell their bibs. Though I would expect an experienced runner not to be in the situation where a guy wins a woman's age group.
