Interesting Running News: London Marathon, Protests, Corn Starch and Bandits.


Venezuelans in the US hold a protest race.  If they succeed in raising money to topple their government, wouldn't that be interesting?

On the opposite side of the relevance spectrum, runners get doused in colored corn starch in Oregon (protesting cleanliness and colorlessness, I'm guessing). You can read the Daily Emerald article about Color Me Rad at this link.

Organizers of the Boston Marathon are sick of race bandits and are implementing new measures to thwart them.  Maybe the Boston Athletic Association will hire Burt Reynolds to smoke out the bandits?

Scientific studies show conclusively that eating Fruit Loops will improve your run time.


London Marathon:

Dude proposed to his girlfriend while running the marathon.  No word of her response in the article, oddly enough.

Wales Online has an interesting article about a guy who has run every London Marathon.  Show off.

The results from the big race are in.
