After finding out that last weekend’s HOKA Chicago Half Marathon had a course shorter than an actual half marathon, many runners are demanding an explanation from race organizers.
Several runners started pointing out that their distance trackers were quite a bit short of the 13.1 miles to complete a half marathon, but still, they ran from the start line to the finish lineAfter finding out that last weekend's HOKA Chicago Half Marathon had a course shorter than an actual half marathon, many runners are demanding an explanation from race organizers.
"It was frustrating, I worked really hard, I paid a lot of money to run 13.1 miles, not 12.6. So, it kind of feels like I was cheated out of that experience," runner Jessie Steele said. Several runners told NBC 5 that the problem began near mile marker 7, with every mile marker following being a half mile off.
"There were people running their first half marathon ever, for them to realize they didn't run the distance is pretty devastating," runner Stephanie Tsai said.
