a) Sufficient notice not given to prepare for the race: They announce the marathon less than 2-3 months before the actual race
b) Too much pollution: Marathons are organized in big cities that are among the top ten polluted cities in the world
c) Lack of Infrastructure: Roads are opened to traffic after the top 10 kenyans finish, no water available after the course is closed. Course is closed in less than 3 hours.
d) Insufficient knowledge of the organizers: Organizers have never run marathons and they do not take the event seriously. I have seen organizers drunk on their job.
e) No respect for runners: We have found people throw stones at runners on one occassion.
