Marathon winner does a runner

An extreme marathon winner carried on running and disappeared in the distance without claiming her first prize after winning a race in Vienna.

Organisers were initially at a loss to explain the woman's strange behaviour after crossing the line first in the Austrian capital.

But they later announced that the young woman had apparently reported in sick to work so she could take part in the 24-hour extreme marathon.

She feared her work colleagues might see the TV pictures, so she did a runner after spotting the cameras.

Marathon organiser Sepp Resnik said: "She is afraid of losing her job."

My friend has run 13 marathons and she says it is quite funny when she keeps on running after the finish line as everyone seems so perplexed. It is because she is desperate for a sh!t come the end of a race
