Organizing and hosting a race is always challenging.  As a race director, you have to plan for every contingency imaginable and then deal with the things that really happen on race day.  Imagine the headaches created by binge drinking race participants!

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Bay to Breakers race organizers said “more than 30 participants had to be taken to hospitals via ambulance after this year’s race, most for alcohol-related reasons.”    This is why they are announcing a strict “no-alcohol policy” for next year’s race.  Are they going to start cracking down on the naked guys now?

    Shocking…absolutely shocking. I say if you can’t hold your liquor, stay out of the race or let me watch it for you until the race is over!
