I am sure at least 2260 people this year did not register, or even more. If they want to get the most money donated as possible, the organizers should require all the bars on the official run list to contribute a percentage of their profits on the day of the run. Currently all of the bars donate ZERO percent to charity. I say they contribute or get kicked off the list. There is no reason they should be making tens of thousands of dollars each and contribute nothing to the community that has created a tradition that they greatly benefit from, in my opinion they are all greedy good-for-nothings taking advantage of something that should be for a good cause.
