Because it affect others. There are trophies and prizes, even if they aren't large. He isn't just coming in in the middle of the pack he is winning his age group. And you have to qualify for larger races, which have limited numbers of runners. If he cheats to qualify then he is taking a place that someone else should have gotten.

- runnr_az 7y agoYeah... I think this is the key thing. For "normal" runners, if someone wants to cheat - no big deal, whatever. It's all supposed to be fun and there's no reason to be too anal about auditing results. It's lame if they cheat or whatever, but they're really only cheating themselves. For the age group record, it matters! It should be, like, a real thing... the people who get those records work really, really friggin' hard, so they deserve to be treated fairly.
