+245 It's shocking how marathon runners get away with littering all those little paper cups right there in front of thousands of people.. amirite?

They're pretty damn fast... thats how they get away.

I'm pretty sure the volunteers clean all the cups after the race is over, or even before.

We pick them all up afterwards. It takes away precious time for the runners to throw them away, and it's dangerous to pick them up during the race. I've volunteered at a water station several times at a marathon in my area.

Me, too! They splash you with the water and gatorade sometimes, too.
