It's written in almost every handouts circulated that the Mumbai marathon brings the entire city on the streets, either running or helping the road runners with water and energy munchies. After yesterday's marathon, Kenya's Joshua Kipkorir (2:09:50), who clinched silver in the Elite men's 41km marathon along with all the Elite women podium finishers, may not pay heed to such buttery lines. After the race, Kipkorir, who vomited during the last kilometre of the race due to dehydration, said the drinking water outlets were not visible and the organisers ought to have done a better job. One lakh 40 thousand litres of water along with 27 water stations were available on race day. "I couldn't see the water stations properly," he said.
