There are some really renowned artists that come to this festival and don't do any other street shows other than ours. They like the quality of the people that come.
As the community has grown and traffic has increased, our concerns for runner safety and quality of experience have created the need to make these adjustments.
Our focus has never been on fast runners. That's why there's no prize money. . . . In terms of attracting big names, our philosophy is we want to provide this quality of service to our runners.
