The organizers of a marathon in southern England have apologized after the course for Sunday's race was more than 500 meters (1,640 feet) too long.
The Brighton Marathon returned to the streets of the coastal city after a pandemic-enforced break, but participants were forced to run further than the regulation 26.2 miles. "We would like to apologise to our marathon participants that the course today has measured 568m too long," the organizers said on Twitter.

A federal judge on Friday blocked President Donald Trump’s administration from enforcing most of his executive order on elections against the vote-by-mail states Washington and Oregon, in the latest blow to Trump’s efforts to require documentary proof of citizenship to vote and to require that all ballots be received by Election Day.
