They stopped the train? Marathons are generally yearly, and thus planned very, very far in advance. Whoever scheduled that train to be there at that time is the one who fucked up, not the runners of the race. |

He was screaming out of his window about how he was going to be late for lunch and he couldn't believe they would stop traffic for a race. I guess it didn't matter that the road closures had been announced for a week prior on all the local news programs and in all the papers. Not to mention there were signs marking detours.

Yeah, these races don't just happen on the spur of a moment. They can be an inconvenience, but they give you plenty of time to plan around it.

I do not agree with the idea that it is the Train companies fault. The planners from the marathon should have contacted them during pre route planning.
If they did and the train was off schedule then that would be different. As for the runners looking like herded cats....... I wouldn't disrespect cats like that

Oh damn, that sucks. I hope it was not a qualifier. It was. They'll still accept qualifying times, but of course if you got screwed and missed your time because of the train, there's no recourse other than finding another race to run. If something like this happened to me in a 5k, I'd be pissed. In a marathon, that requires months and months of training and preparation? I couldn't even imagine. What a disaster. |
