This was the Odd Spot on page 1 of Melbourne newspaper The Age on 28Sep2013:

A woman who entered a half-marathon in Ontario, Canada, ended up taking a wrong turn, running the full marathon and winning the race. Meredith Fitzmaurice intended to run 21 kilometres at the Run For Heroes in Amherstburg before taking the wrong route. Her winning time over the full 42-kilometre race qualified her for the Boston Marathon.
