Eric Rescorla @rtfm.com · Mar 7 Some real map/territory confusion in this report by the LA Marathon to give people medals if they drop out after 18 miles (because it's hot). The finisher's medal commemorates that you finished, but it doesn't make you a finisher. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/07/u...

The finished or not question can be a bit confusing in some events like mountain races where the course is always a bit fluid and organizers might need to change or shorten the race for reasons outside their control.
