Whose Idea to have a Road Race at Night ?

If everyone is lit up and the course is well marked, what's the issue? It's at night so traffic isn't going to be affected much.

Now if it was unmarked and the racers had no common sense about being on the side of the road or un marked, than yes, complain.

This is the case in my neighborhood in MA. A weekly triathlon with people that don't know what they are doing come every Wednesday. I've been told I couldn't go down my own street because runners or bikes were on it. Even had a lady jump in front of my car to stop be as I was trying to leave my neighborhood because "there was a bike behind me". Yup, not making that one up!! Had no officials helping (now PD, no markings), just random volunteers at the top of my road blocking people from using a public road.
