You may ask why a marathon, or it's cancellation, is an environmetal issue. Well, just read the article in Seattle Times/Chicago Tribune.

CHICAGO — For the first time in its history, one of the world's pre-eminent races was cut short Sunday before thousands of runners crossed the finish line.

During Chicago's hottest marathon on record, one runner died and more than 300 were taken from the course by ambulance in the scorching heat and high humidity.
