[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] The issue is that the race goes through land that is operated by the national park service. I ran MCM in 2013. It was my first marathon, I was a furloughed Fed, and very relieved when the shutdown ended early enough that the race could proceed. [/quote]
