I mean at some level that’s kind of bad ass. Annoying to other runners around him, sure, but bad ass nonetheless.

Uncivilized behaviour from runners such as open defecation, smoking, or trampling on flower beds or green spaces that affect the race and the safety of other runners will result in disqualification.

Does "open defecation" really happen often enough during races that it necessitates having its own rule? What exactly goes on during these races???
