TomJa 64 Posted September 25, 2019 #164 Share Posted September 25, 2019 There would be chaos, like during a track race in track cycling or when a large group entered during the finish at the track in Roubaix on Paris-Roubaix. Just counting, who's on what lap my head starts to hurt. Styrka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympian1010 7,418 Posted September 25, 2019 #169 Share Posted September 25, 2019 If they really wanted to hold a climatized marathon/race walk, I bet Qatar would totally be up for letting them do it in a large mall or warehouse complex where they could create a wide-ish 1k-2.5km loop. “Sport has the power to change the world.
