Getting lost in Venice is half the fun. 。
Unless you're a group of runners at the 2017 Venice Marathon on Sunday, who found themselves off course midway during the race. 。

The kerfuffle allowed for Eyob Gebrehiwet, an Eritrean-born Italian runner from a local club, to win the marathon in a time of 2:12:16. He is the first Italian man to win the race since 1995. 。
Thanks for signing up! 。
"Today's race shows that the work is paying off," Gebrehiwet told the IAAF.。
"It was not an easy race as I had to run alone on the Ponte della Libertà. I dedicate the win to myself as I have always believed in my work despite all the difficulties." 。
Gebrehiwet finished more than two minutes ahead of the second placed runner, Muhammed Mussa, who had a time of 2:15:14. Gilbert Chumba, who was part of the lost lead pack, finished fourth with a time of 02:16:47. 。

The moment certainly has echoes of Australian speed skater Steven Bradbury's gold medal win at the 2002 Winter Olympics, albeit less dramatic. 。
