As befits a race of this mismanagement, the Race Misdirector has suddenly been dealt a few conflicting issues, and he may not arrive at Back Bay to start the race.  Since this is all about tomfoolery and self-supported running, if you find yourself at the start (whatever start you've chosen) and nobody else is there, please don't hesitate to just stand up, shout "go" and start your watch.  At the end of your race, email in the results and any photos and we'll post them.
