Seems like a move to requiring a qualifying time is inevitable here. This is how other important, popular events (NY/Boston Marathon, Kona Ironman, etc.) keep numbers down and let the best participate.
Almost every Central Park 5K and 10K I've been to has segregated the elite runners; otherwise they wouldn't show up.
And if Team Z couldn't get into Colonies Zones, it would be that much more likely to sponsor its own event. As of now, it's getting free milk from the cow.
I'd think Colonies Zone would be flattered that it has become so popular. It's disappointing that relatively few seem to agree.
