A Dutch appeals court ruled that an employee was wrongly fired for running a marathon while on sick leave, according to Marathon Handbook. The report said the worker ran 3:27:58 in Rotterdam while signed off sick, and that the court ordered his former employer to pay over €60,000 ($67,000). The report did not specify the date of the firing, the date of the race, or the name of the employer. No other reports on this event were supplied, so the court's reasoning and any employer response remain unreported here.
