Marathon mix-up
Print Edition
A MASSACHUSETTS woman thought she was signing up to run a half marathon near her home, not across the Atlantic Ocean. Sheila Pereira learned too late that the Worcester City Half Marathon was actually being held in Worcester, England, and not Worcester, Massachusetts, on September 15. She decided to run 13 miles that day anyway, only on this side of the pond. The Boston Globe reports Pereira sent the English race organizers a picture of her route from Worcester to Shrewsbury. The 42-year-old completed her half marathon in 2 hours, 5 minutes. After she explained the mix-up, the Worcester City Half Marathon sent along a medal, a shirt and encouragement to participate in next year’s race.
