   Comments: I've routinely seen race directors not show any concern about where people line up. I've seen and been part of accidents because of these situations that I am surprised never have resulted in injuries. Even when races have different numbers for seeded runners, I have seen unseeded runners enter seeded corrals. Especially in these situations, it wouldn't be hard at all to patrol the starting line and make sure people are lining up properly.

   Comments: LaSalle Bank Chicago Marathon's competitive and preferred start corrals are examples of ways this can be implemented.

   Comments: Might also incluse with the waiver an "etiquette fact sheet" in the smaller races where corrals are unlikely, and ask that participants sign that as well as the "hold harmless" waivers.

    Comments: Serious runners will start migrating towards races that take organization seriously. There are too many choices out there and we work too hard to lose out to poor mgmt on your part.

    Comments: This is a problem that is present at all races, that I enter. Here in NY they make announcements and have pace signs. Still you get the guy in levi's shorts and walkman up front. He gets bumped around and all annoyed as people pass him. It also causes tripping hazzards as runners swerve around the man.

    Comments: I thought the Chicago Marathon 2003 had congestion problems for the first 7 or more miles. I know it's a big race, but the way the organizers set up the water tables on both sides of the street - directly across from each other - contributed to bottlenecking. There was no way to move ahead, and a greatly inhibited pace was inevitable. Very frustrating...
