The Boston Athletic Association has indicated it will crack down on bandit runners and even ROTC marchers who don’t have registration numbers, according to an email released today that also bans participants from bringing bags to this year’s Boston Marathon as part of higher security measures following the 2013 bombings.

“This really is the year they need to avoid the Boston Marathon,” BAA spokesman Marc Davis said about bandits and military marchers. “With an already large field, it is just not the year to run if you’re not registered. We’re asking unregistered runners to just stand on the sidelines and cheer.”

Anyone in JAIL over this yet?

Boston has been voting for this horsesh^^ for the past 50 years. They’ll love it because they feel “safe”. Few cities other than San Francisco, NY and Seattle have a populace with less common sense.
