I’m sure they thought it would make a great moment for instagram and she would get a lot of clicks and likes and aww how sweets. But it didn’t work.

With that time she could have stopped and had breakfast with them and it wouldn’t have made a difference

So the guy thought it would be cool to have her kids welcome her at the finish line. What’s the problem here?

My guess, without any context other than the video, is that the husband wanted their children to see her finish, and one kid got away from him. If that’s the case, setting up prior to the finish line was dumb.

However, until his intent is known, people are overreacting in crapping on him.

TLDR
He may he dumb, but not evil.

Who greets someone BEFORE the finish line?


Exactly. Wait for her after the finish line. Most runners would be thrilled to have someone waiting to greet them there.

If she stops before the finish line she doesn't get credit for finishing the race.

The guy is definitely lacking in situational awareness, but people getting worked up over this need to touch grass.

It’s not an F1 race. Don’t we take enough joy out kid’s life already?

UPDATE:

Mom runner wanted to greet kids before the finish to finish together. Husband was just following directions. She unexpectedly ended up being in first, which led to the issue.

The other guy that everyone said she was hooking up with is her brother who was helping her run the race.

Other notes: She missed the deadline to register for this race and the husband is the one who got her in it.

Would you rather have your kids run at you right before a marathon finish line, or a bear?

Seriously, who gives a shite about stuff like this. Even to argue about for no reason on the internet.
