The term "Banda Aceh marathon" was mentioned during some
news videos that came out last week. Googling a bit,
there was a big 10K race scheduled the day after Christmas,
which is a holiday in that part of the world.
So some people were preparing to film the race when the
earthquake hit. Then about 20 minutes later the
big waves started coming in, being only 90 miles from the
epi-center. In that area, any long'ish race is called a marathon.
