Sir, I would strongly suggest you reconsider your idea. The City of Newton has placed a large traffic control sign on our western boundary that the marathon route is closed to all pedestrians. If our officers observe anyone running on the course they are to advise the individual to stop immediately or face arrest. If the individual continues they will be advised they are under arrest and to lay face down on the ground. Anyone who attempts to evade arrest will be tazed. Perpetrators will be zip tied and charged with violating a government order , disorderly conduct, disobeying a police officer and endangering the public welfare . If 10 or more are running together they will be charged with the felony of inciting a riot . After arrest, prisoners will be brought to the Newton Jail , where they will be held overnight until a court appearance Tuesday morning.
