Tom loves to make all these interesting questions and I finally came up with one.

If a friend decided not do a race like Boston marathon that has the starting corals.  If she is in an early coral in the first wave would be it be wrong for her to give her bib to someone in the second wave near the back.  Assuming they only use the bib to get into the coral and not to run with that bib.  You would create a potential problem for people who do not expect people that are slow to be in front of them.   The race is chipped time and waves are by speed and not be A/G so there is no chance of potentially winning an age/group unfairly.

Why stop there...just get up front and toe the line with the Kenyans.

unethical.

It could potentially mess up the race of those behind her and give her an unfair advantage over those that she is supposed to be running around (they will have to run around runners, but she won't).

If you let all the fast people pass you while walking to the start line and just started at the end of the wave with all the charity runners then really is there an issue since everyone in the second wave would still have to run around you like they would for ever charity runner they ran across.

Probably not the "right" thing to do, but in a race of 40,000+ people, things are always so zany at the start that one person isn't going to make much of a difference..

 

Plus...  the "Charity Village" corral is E, which will contain people of all paces, anyway.  

 

I know me and some of my friends are going to have to be creative before the race in order to start together.  I'm sure hundreds of others are too....
