So a proposition. Lets put a minimum weight on a bum-bag. The weight should be a reasonable expectation of proper kit I.e. bottoms, tops,map, compass, whistle and food. Minus sweat.

As you finish through the funnel at the end, you place the kit on a small Salter scale. This would be waived for anyone who needed to put on their kit during the run.Anyone below the minimum would be DQ. Of course you'd have to ignore the food if it's been consumed, or else weigh at the start as well.

No incentive now to not carry kit. People could still cheat by swapping bags etc, but this would be risky, as someone might see them.
You sound like Max Mosely now, are you going to limit the amount spent on kit to prevent rich runners from buying ultra-lightweight, but still high quality kit?
