    Registration for it is closed. But, what if I just show up and try
    running it. I won't get the T shirt and official time from the chip,
    but, would they let me run it?

    Why don't you go to a restaurant and enjoy a fine dinner, then skip out
    without paying the check. Sure, you don't get a receipt, but it's not
    like you're *stealing* or anything. Oh, wait. . . .

    so long as you're running on public roads and not using their aid
    stations, that doesn't sound like a very good analogy.

    You're also taking advantage of the fact that they've paid money for
    permits to close the roads, paid for traffic control personnel, measured
    the course for you, arranged for splits to be given, etc.
