Personally I think there will NOT be "record numbers of participants" next year, at the 2027:

👟 "Edmonton Ultra Marathon"
🕵🏼 "Edmonton Mystery Distance ''Marathon'' "
👩🏼‍⚖️ "Edmonton We're Actually Not Sure if We're Still Allowed to Legally Call it a Marathon?"
🥇"Edmonton, Totally a Boston Qualifier, unless we Get The Distance Wrong Again Marathon"

yeah so thankfully I personally only mess with lil bb distances, but GOOD LORD I would be so mad. Edmonton Marathon ROYALLY fucked this up. 674m!! That's multiple minutes!!

If elite runners tell you the course was too long, *the course was too long,* full stop. Also, GPS exists, and no, it's not all due to "weaving".

Incredibly embarrassing and very poorly handled. 😡
