Couldnt really find a category, figured this might be one we would use...

Am I the only one wondering... how could anyone run 26+ miles in the horrible air quality of Mexico City? Honestly 1 mile run might kill people.

1/3 of the people used cars or public transportation. It takes some real cahones to get on public transportation where thousands of people see you with a shirt with a number on and expect to get away with it. Too funny.

Isn't the whole purpose of running a marathon just to push yourself to finish it? There has to be more to this story somehow. That is an incredibly high percentage of cheaters.

Guessing a poorly marked course must have contributed to this too. Checkpoints every 5K are a lot for such a race. I can't imagine a third of the runners wanted to cheat.
