Hello Minneapolis folks,

The Marathon Board cites community opposition but I believe the policy was probably a violation of Minneapolis city ordinance and Minnesota state law.

I will be running the TC marathon for the second time this year and can assure everyone that the majority of us running are not evening worrying about winning. I might make it to Lake Nokomis when the winner cross the finish line, which is the half way mark. The policy seemed like taking a step-backwards 50-years. The United States needs to be inclusive not exclusive if we want to win the harts and minds of the world. Ken Bradley __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Friends. Fun.
