EVERY year I have had to tell students to slow down only to have them take off running 30 feet past me. If a volunterr tells you to slow down and not run....Then don't run. I have seen several students go down because they were running.
* rant is over *

BTW, way to go Frank
Yup, but the only way to solve that problem is to have volunteers stationed everywhere. No way to stop all 400 teams' worth of students from running the moment they are out of sight of a volunteer. It's really up to the mentors and chaperones of teams to combat this.
