oldmanRampant cheating at the Mexico City Marathin

That sounds more like an issue with the course configuration and marshals than cheating
Yeah, I just looked up the course map online, and it looks nuts.
So many opportunities for even well meaning people to get confused. One person cheats, the rest just follow the person in front of them, and boom, your whole event is wasted :\
I don’t think there is even an effective way to stop cheating that widespread. The article says every year they dq thousands of people. Either they’re getting a lot of false positives or they have to make registration more restrictive.
Isn’t Mexico that fattest country on the planet now? Not surprising they’re not super into running…
This is probably just the cubic in me, but I feel like a lot of those dq’s won’t care. They got their medal they can show off. That’s probably all most of them care about.
