I’m not a runner but my kid is running. On the way to pick up her race packet, I rode some of the marathon route. There’s trash in the street, downed signs, and general disrepair along the route.

There are thousands of people (runners aren’t really people) that visit the city. Least we could do is spruce up the city for the race.

Oh and we had to run through a metal detector to pick up the race packet at the River Center.

There would be a whole lot more trash on the ground if it were not for the fine folks at Keep Tiger Town Beautiful.

I commend you for your creative phrasing to avoid the picture rules.

However, how old is this marathoner?

Hate to break it to you but marathon runners aren’t flocking to Baton Rouge’s metropolis for a little race/fun weekend.

Baton Rouge is probably the least active (runners, cyclist, etc) population I have ever seen.

This would lead a reasonable person to think your kid was running in the marathon.

I’m sorry I should know by now that I have to explain every detail in OP to avoid strict scrutiny.
