The 26-Day Marathon

It appears that an unfortunate Japanese long-distance runner, Kimo Kimono, entered the Ipswich Marathon but, on account of a translation error, thought that he had to run for 26 days, not 26 miles. Since the marathon began on Sunday the 21th of March, Kimono has continued running and is reported to be heading north towards Scotland, determined to finish the race. The translation error was attributed to Burt Smith, a language student in Surrey, who said, "I translated the rules and sent them off to him. But I have only been learning Japanese for a year, and I seem to have made a terrible mistake. Kimono is taking this marathon very seriously and must think it’s like the very long races they have in Japan."
