Like Rodriguez and Pauselli Mcgee had taken the wrong path. Organizers suspecting Mcgee had run the half Marathon route sprang into action taking her aside to question her about what she saw along the route. All runners Start the race outside the University of Manitoba a Max Bell Cen tre. After 10 Kilometres the route splits the full and half marathoners at Merri am Boulevard and the two categories of runners take different routes to the same finish line at the University a stadium.

Volunteers Are supposed to keep full and half Marathon runners on separate routes said Lumb but sometimes they make judgment Calls. People Are just using their own judg ment. In a Given moment you re just doing the Best you Lumb said the Manitoba Marathon uses hidden cameras and Volunteer spotters to watch the winners. Volun Teers also follow the runners in the Lead. Currently the Manitoba Marathon Only uses championship Mats at the Start and finish line. However Lumb said the Marathon might step up track ing next year by bringing in an extra one mid route. We re pretty confident in our sys tems she said. We be got the bases covered but the mat would be added Lumb said the group might also increase the number of spotters and hid Den cameras.
