Hello Minneapolis folks,

The Twin Cities Marathon has reversed its
Americans-only prize money policy. 
The Marathon Board cites community opposition but I
believe the policy was probably a violation of
Minneapolis city ordinance and Minnesota state law.

The TC marathon made the right decision in reversing
the "American-only prize money policy". I will be
running the TC marathon for the second time this year
and can assure everyone that the majority of us
running are not evening worrying about winning. I
might make it to Lake Nokomis when the winner cross
the finish line, which is the half way mark. 

The policy seemed like taking a step-backwards
50-years. The United States needs to be inclusive not
exclusive if we want to win the harts and minds of the
world.
