The mishap took some runners nearly a mile off course.
in Albany, Georgia on Saturday, March 4, Jarrett Leblanc pored over the race route, memorizing the turns, mile markers, and water stations. He knew that within meters of the start, the course went to the left. So when the police officer leading the runners took a right turn, Leblanc was confused, but followed along anyway.The 32-year-old runner was correct.
The course directions clearly stated that racers should turn left, but the previous year’s route began with a right turn, so the cop mistakenly guided competitors that way. The marathoners who were led astray were course-corrected after a few short minutes, but the blunder added up to a mile to their prescribed 26.
