Bangkok half-marathon accidentally adds 7km to route

Instead of the typical 21-kilometre run through the steamy capital, the Standard Chartered Bangkok Marathon on Sunday accidentally extended its annual half-marathon to nearly 28 kilometres.

The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.
