Hardrock just made itself a joke.
When wasn’t it a joke? Hardrock isn’t that much different than Barkleys Marathons. It’s a weird “event” with limited entry and non-transparent selection process for who gets to participate in their “event”. It has a niche following and I think they have just made it even more clear that outsiders should stay out. It’s an “event” for their own little group and it should stay that way.

It's funny, over on irunfar, the insiders recall fondly of various stories of people receiving car rides during the race, having headlamps delivered outside of aid stations, and chugging beer outside of aid stations. None of these people were DQ'd or even questions as far as I can tell. Yes, it's good to be an insider.
Is it just me or do the French have a propensity to cheat or game the system on just about anything and everything?

It seems petty, but I think it's right to make it against the rules. Else people with the money could have a big advantage by setting up tons of extra aid stations for themselves
