But if you do enter the race, you are entering into an agreement with the race director to comply with the terms of the agreement that they set out. I don't think you can then ignore the terms of the agreement that you agreed to and reasonably argue that you are entitled to the things which they agreed to do.
The person being given the bib agreed to nothing.
The value if the bib includes medal timing support. If not the RD is unjustly enrich and the law abhors waste. You lose
You sound like a law school reject. The RD is not "unjustly enriched" if a person using someone else's bib is not provided with a medal, a time, and on-course support. Based on the BAA's rules, the person who earned the bib is not allowed to give it to another person for any reason, and, therefore, any person to whom a bib is given cannot be an authorized user of the bib. Your analysis is faulty because you are ignoring the "unjust" part of "unjust enrichment." There is nothing unjust about the BAA enforcing its rules. There is also nothing wasteful about the BAA enforcing its rules. The leftover drinks and food are donated, the medals are recycled or reused, and the time is not attributed to someone who did not earn it fair and square. You lose.
