Got this e-mail from the A-town marathon peeps today. I know they DQ'd a few people last year for wearing headphones, which I found surprising considering how important they value music down there. Then again, Austin is now a city whose Keep Austin Weird 5K is sponsored by budweiser and whose hash had their x-mas party at TGIF's, so I guess the city has really changed since I lived there.
Anywho, they'll be having 40 live bands along the course, so I'm not sure why anyone would need to bring their iPod along for the ride.
"USA Track and Field has amended the rules regarding headphone use to allow them in non-championship races. In other words, participants in the 2009 Austin Marathon will be allowed to use headphones."

The Austin hashmas party was at the Flying Saucer, not TGIF. Albeit is still a chain, it's much cooler place because of the beer selection.
