USATF Delegates Debate Headphones Ban

mp3 runnerwith headphones music ipodDelegates to the USATF convention who attended the open session of the Long Distance Running Division chaired by Fred Finke were anxious to debate the ban on headphones in road races which was imposed by USATF at last year’s convention.

“We realize this issue has caused a great deal of angst,” said Finke, who has received hundreds of e-mails on the subject. “It seems to be a hot button issue.”

USATF enacted the ban in accordance with a rule put in place by the IAAF which banned the use of headphones in championship events. The IAAF ban was intended to prevent athletes from receiving information via radio about the whereabouts of their rivals, a practice which is permitted in the big bicycle tours, like the Tour de France.

But in practical application, it has meant that recreational runners are not allowed to wear MP3 players, like Apple’s iPod, and listen to music during road races. Only a handful of U.S. races have actively enforced the ban.

“It hasn’t been given enough of a chance, but it is enforceable,” said Jim Gerweck of the Road Running Technical Council who is also the managing editor of Running Times Magazine. “I wonder how many people in Chicago didn’t hear that the race was cancelled because they were wearing iPods.”

Opinions in the room were sharply divided. Organizers of the Twin Cities Marathon said that they took the ban seriously and disqualified 176 runners from this year’s race for wearing headphones. “I would like to see USATF enforce the rules,” said the event’s operations manager, Brian Mastel.

But Tracy Sundlan, whose Elite Racing event management firm puts on the the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon series, wasn’t sure the ban was well thought out and could simply end up driving away customers for race organizers large and small. “I’m not sure the reason to have the ban is consistent with where the sport is going,” he said, referring the the legions of fun runners who dominate the ranks of America’s road racing participants.

Since USATF is not considering any rules changes at this year’s convention (it’s not a “rules year”), the ban will be in place for at least another year. Delegates voted to table the issue until next year, and Finke said a subcommitte would study the problem and make a recommendation for action, perhaps limiting the ban to just national championship events.

“It’s really a no-win situation,” said Finke. “I’m looking for a middle ground.”

  2. Banning listening to music while running is the stupidist thing I’ve ever heard. It’s time for knuckle heads to get out of the way of those of us that are enjoying life.

  3. […] I first turned to the rules themselves. No justification was provided in the rules. I searched the USATF website and couldn’t find much information on the rule.

    This is dumb.
    Why can’t we listen to our headphones while running a race?

    Purists.
    If you don’t want music when you run, leave your headphones at home. I am big enough to figure out how to talk, run, listen, and chew gum at the same time.

    Absolute lunacy. I have run over 50 marathons and have never run without headphones. This includes Twin Cities and Chicago in 2007. I can understand championship events, or those eligible for prize money, but for remaining 99% who enjoy running for its simple pleasure, this is just nuts.

    Specifcially addressing Mr. Gerweck’s comments about how potentially dangerous the cancelled 2007 Chicago Marathon would have been with headphones gone amuck. Well, I was there and figured out quickly around mile 22 that they cancelled the race. In addition to hearing megaphones making announcements, I also caught on quickly when I saw 40,000 people start walking. Mr. G., you are a fun killer.
