I'd rather have the streets shut down for a marathon than for a movie film set.
Maybe some of the fat fuckers in their car will see that other people actually can and do exercise, will get off their lard asses, and get some exercise. We have an obesity problem in Canada, after all.

Hell yes... Why not move all the marathons to the bike path system & have each of the marathoners & the organizers pay a small fee that has an ironclad earmark towards developing the paths to accommodate...

what about a drunk driver?
I think even you would agree that using the term fat fucker was out of line for any sensible discussion.
You know there's a lot of people in this city for whom such events are a massive inconvenience. One mans trivial is another mans major headache.
You have a serious Issue with Fat People don't you Fuji ?
Has it occured to you that some of the people who may be invonvienced are handicapped and therefore have limited mobility issues ?
haha.. I'm not a rob ford fan boy.. I'm just trying to get some of the people here to be more objective.. I appear to be failing badly..Rob is that you?!?
Well, his heart is in the right place even if his brain isn't. Instead of throwing shit decisions in the air, it would be nice to call the organizers and get some input on why it happens every event of this nature in round the world is held on city streets. But it's an election and knee-jerk statements to curry favor of voters is more important. I'm assuming that the Toronto Indy will be held on bike paths so Rob can shave 15 minutes off his home journey next summer ?
Reminds me of David Miller suggesting that he could cancel the bridge to the island airport and it would not cost one loony. Millions of loonies were picked up by the city for this decision and David Miller had left it behind as a past issue and still got re-elected.
I heard a radio debate but without catching the name of the guy speaking - he was warning George & Rob not to make stupid statements about transit plan changes. Toronto does not pay for the entire cost but looks for support from Ontario & Federal funds. After 5 years of negotiating and finally getting a plan accepted by all levels - why make commitments that could jeopardize stopping the funding and entering a nothing happening phase as they restart from the beginning? Naturally he was ignored by Rob & George. The game is to get elected at any costs. AKA David Miller's bridge.

There isn't lots of space. It's less than 2km from the west end to the east end of the Exhibition grounds. A marathon is 42.2km.

We should have one signature marathon that closes the streets. All of the other ones should use the parks or bike paths. I don't understand the whole concept behind charity walkathons, marathons anyway. If you want to contribute to a good cause just do it. Why should someone have to walk or run to raise money?
Because:
1. You get thousands of people out contributing in a way that might only take one day of their time.
2. Said thousands of people actively hustle to raise money
3. There are tons of charities out there - when was the last time you looked one up and donated 50 bucks?
4. It's been proven to work.
I realize it does work but it just seems so illogical. The only ones actually making a difference are the ones donating money. The ones walking or running are just getting exercise.
