Girl Accidentally Runs Half Marathon
This is what I discovered:
A 12 year old girl accidentally ran a half marathon when she joined the wrong race! She arrived at the start line just as the half marathon participants set off. She joined them thinking she had arrived late for her much shorter race. At roughly the 6km mark she realised something was wrong. She asked one of the other racers who told her she was in the half marathon race. Her family became worried about where she was and sent the police out to find her. The police motorbike came up to her, but she still decided to complete the race. She crossed the finish line 2hrs, 43mins and 31secs.
My Opinion:
I think that this is impressive and she was obviously very dedicated!
