Trying to figure out why discussion of a change isn't something you and others want to hear. On a discussion board.
We are allowed to disagree with a change, the WAY it's been made (that's my beef), and the nonsensical reason they are giving for it (I hate fake reasons).
As for not running their races...if they would let me have a refundable registration, it's possible I would do just that. But it's NON refundable. So I'm either out money and don't get the race or the bib or the medal, or I run it (and when I say "it" I mean the TWO rundisney races I signed up for, whose rules have NOW changed) and think long and hard about future rundisney events.
Not that big of a deal if I'm going solo. But
especially if I'm running with someone else who isn't so enthused about Disney or perhaps has more obligations at home. Because if I can't pick up their bibs, it makes it harder on them.
But to tell me to just not run something I've already spent $400+ on, yeah, no, that's not happening. I can be less-than-positive about the way they are doing this, though, all I choose to be.
