Really dumb idea

Having this race on one of the busiest runways was a dumb idea! Our American Airlines flight was delayed by one hour due to the race as were many many others a week and a half ago. People on our flight missed their connection, ruined their trips so that people could run on a busy Runway. Whose bright idea was this?!
