They ran an extra 4 miles on their half-marathon. And for their extra pain, they're getting T-shirts.
Organizers offered runners commemorative T-shirts as part of an apology for inadvertently extending the weekend Standard Chartered Bangkok Half-marathon by almost 7 kilometers (4 miles).
The error by race officials along the route meant participants in Sunday's race ran 27.6 kilometers (17 miles), rather than the usual 21 kilometers (13 miles). Many runners had clocked the race on GPS watches and posted their bewilderment and anger afterward on social media.
