Inclusion for all

The Boston Marathon is scheduled for October 11 this year. The race was cancelled last year due to the Pandemic, and delayed this year, in hopes that Covid 19 would be under control by then. Lately, though, the surge in cases has been disturbing with the Delta variant raging primarily through the unvaxed population and causing "breakthrough" cases in people who have been "fully vaccinated." So far, it looks like the vaccine is still effective against serious cases requiring hospitalization. Choosing the October 11 date is not without controversy.

Holding the famous race that date has been criticized for stealing some of the thunder from Indigenous Peoples day, which is the result of the cultural police's efforts to replace Columbus Day. For the record I still think the previous term "Native Americans" was an acceptable and more correct appellation for the poor savages that were driven out of their lands by marauding Europeans. But replacing Columbus Day with a fancy virtue spawned holiday celebrating...what?

But back to the Marathon, one can hardly call them insensitive. Look at all the divisions they have invented to include those with handicaps and genders. This is the order of runners starting times:
Mobility Impaired 8:50am
Men's Push rim wheelchair 9:17
Women's push rim wheelchair 9:19
Handcycles and duos 9:22
Elite Women 9:32
Elete Men + Wave 1 10:00
Next wave 2-4 (every 25 minutes)

I'm assuming these divisions are to make the running field more level in terms of the apparatus and skill required to race. It still seems unfair to me that some obvious diversity/mobility issues have been overlooked. For example, When do elite They/Them/Its line up?
How about midgets? Homeless Runners ? Gluten Intolerant? Old Farts? Hispanic? People with humps?
It's pretty clear that these groups also need to be included to erasing any semblance of unfair competition. If it were up to me, I would make the Kenyans run separately. That way, maybe an American could win. I want this Marathon to be great again.
