Woman runs own half marathon after learning too late that the race she signed up for was actually being held in Worcester, England, and not Worcester, Massachusetts.
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 Sept. 15.The Boston Globe reports Pereira sent the English race organizers a picture of her route from Worcester to Shrewsbury. The 42-year-old runner's fitness app showed she completed her own half marathon in 2 hours, 5 minutes.
After Pereira explained the mix-up, the Worcester City Half Marathon sent along a medal, a shirt and encouragement to travel the 3,000 miles to participate in person in next year's race.
