Whose Idea to have a Road Race at Night ?

Well, since the route practically runs through my back yard every year, my issues in the last....oh, decade or so....are the runners crossing the road in a non-lit section of Rte 28 at 10pm (for one example) and the chase vans that couldn't care less about other motorists on the road and drive as such.

No, the course is not well lit, it's barely marked and the participants as a group are focused solely on their runner, outside world be damned.

While I appreciate the charity aspect of the event, that entire group has routinely shown how oblivious they are to their surroundings.
