Cloned bibs put spotlight on race organizers

THE 2017 BEIJING Marathon was held on Sunday. However, some runners reportedly cloned their race bibs and shared them with those who failed to register for the activity. A photo of three runners wearing bibs with the same number was even widely spread online. Thepaper.cn comments:

The organizers of the Beijing Marathon responded on Wednesday that they were tracking the three runners and would prohibit them from registering for all future activities.

It is illegal to copy a race bib and share it with others, and so those who do so break the law.
