Interesting, they've set up a "cooling tent" section in Hollywood across from the El Capitan, looks like it's shaded and maybe set up for misting. (livestream from NBC LA). Which they are spending yapping more than showing runners. 🤔 And they have the runners separated from the public by large fencing. what the heck 🤔

Must be the "cooling off" tent section is restricted to runners only.
