Subject: RE: IM Moo 2008 Athlete's Guide is up..."Looks like they went to the old format of ONLY racers finishing at the finish line and no other persons allowed to finish with them.
Other Information - Page 14 of 24.
4. The finish line area is a very congested and fast paced area. For safety, ABSOLUTELY NO FAMILY, CHILDREN, SPOUSES, FRIENDS, FANS, ETC. ARE ALLOWED INTO THE FINISH AREA.
i thought i read in there somewhere where you can have one child and only a child (no parents, spouses, friends, fans, etc...,etc... ) if they were properly registered and in the right spot to join you in the finishing area or something like that.........."
I volunteered at the family spot last year at the finish line - it was a mess and not really very well organized. People with more than one kids wanted to bring them both over the finish line, we missed some finishers as they ran by, and the athletes were not supposed to carry any small children for fear of falling. People were not very happy and some were just jumping in and going with their athlete instead of registering at all. If they do have this again, I hope it is much more organized.
