    I didn't see any threads on this.

    The guy who was in the lead at the Tokyo Marathon with just a hundred or so yards to go took a wrong turn following the TV trucks and -- at least possibly -- lost the race as a result.

    Nobody can say what would have happened but it still seems a shame. In the least he had a much better chance to be on the podium

    That doesnt look like a marathon. Its probably an Ekiden due to the sashes each runner is wearing.

    I was just about to post that! Yeah, everyone was moving pretty fast for it to be the end of a marathon. Sucks to be him either way.
