NY area runners - anyone up for half on Saturday?

She knows that selling or transferring a bib can get her banned from all future NYRR events, right?They're pretty hard line about it.

Honestly, I didn't realize that since I had seen people do this for non NYRR races. Never mind, then!

NYRR actually runs sting operations to catch people and ban them. No joke. Tell her not to sell it on Craigslist!

I don't think she was selling it on Craigslist. She just sent an e-mail out to a few of us saying to let her know if we knew anyone who'd want to run it.

I know that they don't like people running bandit (like the guy at the NYC half who took his shirt w/bib off mid-race and was detained before the finish line) but who knew about running w/other people's bibs!?

It's listed in their Rules of Competition on the website. But they have employees who search for the CL & other ads for bibs for sale, then try to set up a sting to catch you when you pick up the bib. There are a lot of posts on the Runners World forums about it.
