In case you missed it: This was one of the Herald's top stories on social media this week.
Among the photos of beaming runners finishing the Rotorua Marathon is one photo fail that is unlikely to be framed on the family mantlepiece anytime soon.
A photo taken at the race yesterday shows two packs of runners pacing down the road seemingly oblivious to the man off to the side covering his groin with his hand.
Dressed in bright active wear, it was possible the man was a runner who was in more urgent need of dashing to a bathroom rather than the finishing line.
