Uncivilized behaviour from runners such as open defecation, smoking, or trampling on flower beds or green spaces that affect the race and the safety of other runners will result in disqualification.
Does “open defecation” really happen often enough during races that it necessitates having its own rule? What exactly goes on during these races???
I remember reading that your body figures it should get rid of excess weight around the 18-mile mark.
I don’t run, but when I do it’s not at the 18 mile mark but the 3 minute mark where my bodies like “it’s all gotta go”

if you want that medal, it’s fecal to the metal
I’d figure after the first time they’d want to ensure there’s no repeats. Like when you go to a store and it has, “No humping the mannequins”, and you just know at some point some Air Bud motherfucker was like, “Theres no rule against it!”
I mean at some level that’s kind of bad ass. Annoying to other runners around him, sure, but bad ass nonetheless.
I worked with a guy in the 1990s who smoked like a chimney and was a serious cyclist. He did the “Ride across Saskatchewan” a few times, placing quite well while smoking a pack of cigarettes along the way. Madness and he said half the fun was how much it pissed everyone off to get passed by someone sucking on a cigarette.
Uncle has a marathon to run and no fucks left to give - and I respect that.
It’s vaguely reminiscent of Tour de France racers getting pissed during the race, but so much more Chinese.
