Finish Line Confusion in Mexico
Last Sunday, one Argentinian runner found himself in finish line confusion at the 2024 Merida Half Marathon in Merida, Mexico, when race officials mistook the winner of the Merida Half Marathon for a 10K finisher. Juan Esteban Pizarro surged from third to first overall before his glory took an unexpected detour.
As Pizarro ran toward the finish line tape, a confused race official mistook him for a 10K finisher (the 10K and half marathon races were being run simultaneously) and the officials holding the tape hastily closed it, leaving Pizarro crossing a tapeless finish line.
The officials quickly realized their mistake and asked the Argentinian to make a U-turn and run back onto the course so he could have his winning moment. Undeterred, Pizarro walked back onto the course then returned back through the finish line walking to break the tape. Luckily, Pizarro had a four-minute lead over the second-place finisher, giving him plenty of time to fix the mix-up and get the first-place finish line photo.
A Freezing Siberian Marathon
A group of Russians took part in one of the world's most extreme running contests - a marathon held at negative 62 Fahrenheit. Runners underwent medical checks before the start of the event in Oymyakon, a settlement in Siberia, and were provided with broth, hot tea and snacks at refreshment points along the route.
Wrapped up from head to foot against the cold, a total of 38 people competed in the marathon or half-marathon. Alisa Matveeva, who ran the half-marathon, said the experience was "very scary”. The lowest temperature that Alisa had previously trained in was -20C while in Moscow.
"It was hard to run the first 10k then it was easier, because you already understand how to breathe, you remember that you need to remove the ice from your eyes, because your eyes get covered with it," Alisa told reporters.

When you run the marathon, you run against the distance, not against the other runners and not against the time.
