    Looks pretty clear here. Don't know why they both have marathon bibs tho.

    The 10 Miler is actually hard to get in to, so they get marathon bibs so they could walk with Grandma. The 10 Miler takes off first.

    This is the most logical explanation. Only thing I wonder is why they don't have a time at the 21 mile mat. The 10 mile course and marathon course both hit the same 21, 24 and finish mats. Did they just pick Granny up somewhere between mile 21 and 24?

    Even so, it's expressly against the rules of the race to do that.

    re: both

    Agreed. That is the main issue here as it does seem he and his mate snuck into the 10 miler using their marathon bibs. Those two need to be banned from races, IMO.

    Spring half marathon was full too, so entered the full? Only explanation. Not cool for the people behind them in the results if this is the case. If so, DQ them and remove this thread since it was "unintentional".

    As I said, I hate to see anyone that deserves to make a race like Boston get bumped because a time such as one of these was used. "Unintentional" or not, the race directors have allowed these times to stand - which is troubling. (Both courses are Boston qualifier eligible.)

    improving 22 mins in a few months seems believable compaired to improving 2 hours in under 1 year. look at his times from NYC and Philadelphia from 2014!

    If I found the right Jacob, his brother is a medical resident at Hennepin County Medical Center, right next to the starting line of the Twin Cities Marathon. Elan ran it legitimately, however.

    Playing the quitting clam card?

    Paulo, I was referring to the marathon there, as I'll likely end up pacing another letsrunner.

    But yes, it is somewhat annoying that rojo keeps deleting all the evidence I post on behalf of a wrongly accused athlete. I understand of course: since he can't argue against facts, he simply deletes them.

    Agreed. I think the covering of the bibs would be more that they thought it wouldn't register or something and just wanted to walk across with her and not be noticed as being in the race so they covered their bibs.
