26.2 miles is plenty long. But this marathon accidentally added an extra 0.3 miles:
At 26.2 miles long, running a marathon is no small feat, with those crossing the finish line looking forward to celebrating with anything other than some extra time pounding the pavement.
But on Sunday some 18,000 runners in Belfast ended up getting just that. In a statement, Deep RiverRock Belfast City Marathon organizing committee chairman David Seaton said that"approximately 460 additional meters were added to the officially measured course of 26.2 miles," an addition of nearly 0.3 miles to the route.
