*Note* They were drinking out of garbage cans…
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Some runners who participated in the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon in Las Vegas say water passed out during the race made them sick.
The Las Vegas Sun reports that health officials are investigating at least 10 claims of intestinal problems following the Sunday night marathon. They also have posted a survey to pinpoint a possible source for illness complaints that have been posted on Facebook.
Race organizers filled lined buckets or trash cans with hydrant water, which was used to fill cups offered to racers along the course.
Some runners complained that the water tasted odd or unclean.
Race organizers say the hydrant water was tested and found to be safe.
The event drew some 44,000 racers who paid up to $179 to run a half or full marathon.

put this one in the you cant make it up file. fucking hilarious. especially when you consider how anal runners are.
That was exactly what I was thinking…
Ah…. now that is funny. And they paid money to participate. Is the economy really so bad that the race organizers could not find a sponsor/partner to provide water for branding promotion?
