I asked the organizers of the run thru their facebook account about the rule:
2.10, “A runner may NOT use a personal music system, e.g. iPod, or a radio communication device, including a cellular phone, whilst running.
Here is their response:
We cannot allow music gadgets for safety purposes, as runners might not hear the instructions from marshals. Thank you.
I told them that I understand where they are coming from however i explained that a lot of runners, including myself, use music to help them run. Music is a good form of motivation especially when running long distances and that some runners even use their "personal music systems" to time their running pace. I asked them if the rule be strictly implemented?
No response yet.
Hmmm... what to do? What to do?
