COLUMBUS, Ind. – Completing a race has its own obstacles, but runners were thrown for a loop when a train crossed their path.
On Saturday morning the Mill Race Marathon kicked off at 7:30 a.m. in Columbus, but a Louisville and Indiana Railroad that goes along the path of the course had a train rolling down the tracks at Lindsey Street.
According to 24-Hour News 8’s news partners at the Columbus Republic the train stopped and several runners in the lead had to curve around the front to cross the tracks. The race eventually backed up and runners had to climb between the train cars.
Police attempted to stop the runners from crossing over the cars, but runners continued to run across the cars after police stopped one line.
