[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn’t this funded by tickets????[/quote] Tickets? Like speeding tickets?[/quote] I'm assuming the issue is not for lack of funds for the race (there are entry fees and I believe private companies pay a lot of $$ to 'sponsor' it - I honestly have no idea if any govt. funds are used for this race, except maybe the wages of the soldiers who work the event by manning water stops, etc.) [/quote] I’ve run both races, and my husband is a Marine who has worked at the Marathon. The Marines manning the aid stations do not get paid anything additional to work there. They are “voluntold.” At least in my husband’s experience, the only way to get out of working, is to run the race.[/quote] ODAR.[/quote]
