How ridiculous is this. The 2nd place finisher, Womens 40-44, at the LA Marathon has a 3:21:18 finish, and given that the gun time and clock time are seconds apart, the runner was in Corral A with Bib 14859, which is an Open Corral number (way in the back). I hate corral jumpers.

LA Marathon has a handy link to MarathonFoto. Follow the link and it is not a woman wearing Bib 14859, but is a man, wearing his 2105 BAA clothing. (So lame.)

On the OC Marathon ambassadors page, because she is an ambassador for the upcoming marathon, the runnerâ€™s link to her Instagram account shows other marathons she has posted (concealing bib numbers for whatever reason when results are by name, duh) and there is San Francisco, where she walked a 5:16:32 time in 2015, and crawled a 5:49:50 in 2014.

Most of the races on Instagram are half-marathons, all with finishing times above, and well above, 2 hours.

So obviously someone who trots a 5:00+ hour marathon does not run a 3:21 marathon and she got a bib mule to cheat for her. But why? Just to qualify for Boston? So what. Meanwhile you rob the real 2nd place finisher, and 3rd place too, all so you can go to Boston but would have to forever lie about qualifying and will easily be caught cheating.

Oh, and yes, I told LA Marathon a week ago. The results are still up.

The winner of the women 50-54 is not the most feminine runner in the world.

These race photos are fun.

You would think the F50-54 winner would wear a shirt.

Dang. LA Marathon had some seriously ugly woman taking home prizes.

I didn't notice that. Pretty funny stuff. Are the RD people not even trying to sort this stuff out, come on man.

Seriously. 30 minutes of someone's time to at least sort out the age group winners.

re: Anon

I get how this would be a nightmare for a race director to try to figure out. We are talking about running down the top 10 over all male and female, probably top 3 masters male and female, and then top 3 in each age group male and female. That's 80-90 identities to try to confirm, and the race pics are not available as results are being collated.

As I see it, the RD's real responsibility is to address these issues when they are brought to the RD's attention. It seems maybe that is where the RD fell down on the job here, if at all.

This is amazing.

Wh have had PATHETIC Cheater-Liar-Age Group and/or "Boston Marathon Qualifier-Look at Me!" FRAUDâ€¦or 100 marathons in 100 days FRAUD â€¦or 365 marathons in 365 days FRAUDâ€¦or fake transcontinental run FRAUDâ€¦or fake 4:20 mile PRâ€¦or fake Women's 2012 OLYMPIC 1500m Gold and Silver Medals with half of the entire women's final caught DOPINGâ€¦Charity Fraud "for the kids" etcâ€¦

There are CHEATER-LIAR-FRAUDS being exposed everyday now.

Cheater-Liar-Fraud is STANDARD PRACTICE EVERYWHERE NOW.

The sport of running is now in a PIT.

The FINAL APOCALYPSE started with the November election in the United States.

Things are going to get really ugly and uncomfortable now.

Enjoy it.

I wish the LA Marathon was like CIM here in Sacramento. It would have been awesome to hear the finishing line announcement of that shirtless guy running down the female finisher chute.

I think you're forgetting someone...

re: RunNorCal

Did she post the time anywhere? Perhaps it's not a mule at all, and Hanlon's Razor applies here? Perhaps she sold her bib or gave it to a friend or something?

Many people, especially those who walk 5h marathons, don't care about placement, bib etiquette, or much else... Not saying what she did was right by any means, but I hope not every single transgression is a blatant cheating attempt.

I share your sense of humor, but in my experience NorCal is more accepting of transgenderism and most people wouldn't question a dude running down the women's finishing chute. They would probably call him brave and build a statue.
