Most people I know listen to music when they run. But they may have never tried running without them to find out what they might be missing out on. But some runners feel bored when running without something to listen to. Looking for a Happy Medium? If you get completely wireless bluetooth earphones , you can run with only one earbud. This allows you to listen to your tunes, etc. Bone-Conducting Headphones are another option that allows for this, too. All marathon races have different requirements with regard to headphone use.
Races where roads are not completely closed are much more likely to restrict the use of headphones. This is for the safety of its runners. Reach out to race directors if you have any doubts so that you can prepare accordingly.
Gone are the days of popping in one CD to your Walkman and having to listen to the same songs on repeat.

That's fine for you to enjoy the silence of the trail, the problem is when you tell other people what they can and cannot do in their experience of the race.
These old guys who push this "no music" rule are bitter old Fascists. Let people listen to their ipods. It's not a safety hazard. There's no documented case of injury related to headphones, it's all hearsay. I beg to differ. It is a safety hazard.
I've been behind folks and I've had to repeat numerous times "on your right" only to realize that they cannot hear me. As I pass by these people they are completely unaware of what is happening around them. I've almost taken some falls and vice versa. The worst part is they're usually pissed at me. Yes maybe no injury has actually occurred, but it does increase the risk of it, especially on the single track trails. My solution is to listen to music before and after, sing to myself during races, and enjoy the sounds during a race not isolate myself with a pair of headphones.
By the way I am not old and I'm not Fascist. And obnoxious to boot. If you can't run without your "tunes," maybe you should stick to the treadmill. I think that the new rule change is a good compromise. I've often scared people when I run by them because they did not hear me coming or calling out "on your left" or whatever. I figure if they are going to use headphones and block out sounds around them why should I warn them that I am going to go by anyway. I love music, but when I run my intent is to achieve mental silence and be surrounded by nature.
