Non- Runners who are making opinionated comments. Please understand that the City of Wilmington does not pay for police to direct traffic, or traffic control. The race already has to pay OFF DUTY OFFICER FEES and A COMPANY TO PAY FOR TRAFFIC CONTROL ETC. RACES ALREADY HAVE TO PAY TRASH CLEANUP, that is EXTRA. The only cost that the city of Wilmington incurs is administrative. Everything that you see on the race course, the RACE is already paying (Extra). Now what do you think? By the way, I was downtown yesterday and counted about 20 cigarette butts on the ground around me. Put the BUCK on smokers if you are going to tax the runners as well.
