Did Sarah Palin's father Chuck legally run the Boston Marathon?
How would a person illegally run a marathon? Assuming he did not
get money for doing so, why worry about it? To qualify for the
Boston Marathon, you have to qualify in a marathon that is
sanctioned by the Boston Marathon Association. Once you have
qualified, you may enter the Boston Marathon. It is the only one
that requires a qualifying time in order to enter. Many runners
train hard to make the qualification time and are frustrated if
someone jumps in the course and runs it illegally. There is no
money involved, just hard, honest training.
