Running is the favourite sport of many people today. In fact, different types of races are being organised for this kind of sport every year, which many people join enthusiastically. However, due to the large number of individuals who want to join these competitions, some are prompted to do nasty things, like stealing other people’s race numbers.

During the City of Angeles Half Marathon in 2006, a father reported to the event organiser about an incident concerning his daughter’s race number. According to him, his daughter’s race number was stolen and used by an unknown runner. His daughter had been registered for the marathon race and was supposed to run in the competition. However, when they arrived at the Expo, they found out that his daughter’s running bag was lost. Upon discovering that someone had stolen it, he immediately reported the incident.

He eventually realised that the culprit had not registered in the race, but was able to join and finish the race using his daughter’s number. The thief completed the race in 2 hours, 33 minutes and 03 seconds with split time at 1000 in one hour and 14 seconds and with several paces.

This funny running story is based on the accounts of Baldrunner, a famous group of professional runners in Asia that includes Rosalina Pascual, Javy Olives, and Cresenciano Sabal.
