MCM Runners

FYI - in case you've trained with a CamelBak all season, they aren't allowed - no backpack hydration:

Interesting. I'm not using one, but I've seen people training with them.

I think this will be more & more common for marathons and bigger races w/security. Also - for those interested in stalking

I really hope the govt is up and running by then and the race isn't affected. I don't know how it would work with the road closures, security, etc.

[lb2006]

well, i'm hoping that 30k runners who paid $100 each (= $3mil) that would help pay for staff for the road closures. And however many 10k runners + their fees.

We've already said we're coming anyways if something happens to the race We prepaid our hotel in March and we'll just run our 26.2 on the Mt. Vernon Trail. If that's the case, you should join us!

Just an FYI, is it the same for the NYC marathon too. You cannot use a camel back or any back pack hydration pack.

I use my camelback for my long runs while training, but never use it in races.
