The Marathon Mix-Up: Names, Characters, and Costumes

This chapter humorously examines a mishap from the 2024 London Marathon where runners' names on shirts led to playful misidentifications.

Through light-hearted banter, they highlight the absurdities of marathon culture and the engage-ment it fosters between spectators and runners.
