Organisers cancel marathon at very last minute due to lack of water - participants run anyway

[B]Chaotic scenes surrounded Sheffield's Half Marathon after organisers cancelled the event due to a lack of water for runners.
[/B]
There was confusion at the starting line as many of the 4,100 runners decided to carry on running anyway.
South Yorkshire Police said it had initially tried to set up road blocks but later decided it was safer to let them complete the run.

And thus, many a runner wound up dehydrated that day :v:
Not smart of them, unless they brought their own water.
At first I read it as they ran away, and was like "HAH! good one OP." But then I read it and was like, missed opportunity, shame on you OP.

You should announce who they are to hurt their reputation. Unless of course it was your fault.
Taps?!

They'll just go back to easier methods of rep grinding and we'll be back to square one.
This is where I live and apparently Asda and Costa Coffee were giving out free water to the runners

Police should have stopped the runners with water hoses.
looks like it was going to rain that day anyway, so perhaps there was no need to worry?

Whoa there, the marathon didn't end like that. :v:
Nice
Well I didn't expect that at all
what thread did i go into
i can see why they needed water because its getting hot in here
To carry on and manage to stay erect all that time takes some balls.
Well this escalated.

Golds can see where posts were deleted.
And I find it humorous that people were in such an uproar over a homosexual spambot. Just report it and move on.
