Well it wont increase them will it. So using decrease probably wasnt the right word to use.

If they thought they would make more through sponsorship with a mixed event they would do it. I know women who will be doing the run LOADS will from Virgin im certain. Hardly any would if it was a normal fun run.
I watched a mixed fun run while i was out with my dog recently, it was at a big park in Manchester - Im pretty sure it was a for a cancer charity (Is that what the pink balloons/riibbons are?) I could have counted the men on 2 hands but there were women and children of all ages.

Sorry I mis understood you.
Yes men can watch, which then goes agasint the first point you made really doesnt it as the women wont know how many men will be watching. Im guessing it is not going to be a small amount.
In my opinion, I just think they will be an increase if they allowed men to race.
