Two elite runners suspended after their marathon bib-swap breaks record
April 10, 2023
When runners sign up for marathon months in advance and a last-minute injury prevents them from making it to the start, it isn’t uncommon that they swap or sell their race bib–but it’s still against the rules at most marathons.
