The article is also short on details. How exactly do they get enough water to each runner? Are there hundreds of filling stations at each water stop? Will runners setting records, or trying to qualify, now have teams where a literal water boy carries water for you.

I've yet to see someone smoking a cigarette whilst running a marathon...

If anyone could do it, it'd be the French.

But I'd like to see them try!
