Summary
Chris McConnell, a marathon runner, noticed a strange coincidence in photos from the Berlin and Tokyo marathons. A man named Aristofanis Stavrou is visible running behind him in both pictures, despite the races being two years apart and in different cities. McConnell estimates the odds of this happening are one in the tens of billions. The two men have since made contact and plan to meet in person.
Our Reading
The routine arrives with confidence.
Marathons are hard to get into, but getting photographed with the same stranger in two different cities? That’s a new level of commitment.
Chris McConnell’s “marathon stalker buddy” is just as blown away by the coincidence.
They’re planning to meet in New York in 2027, because why not make it a regular thing?
This is what they mean by “running into someone” – literally.
The odds of this happening are one in the tens of billions, but the odds of them becoming friends? That’s a whole different story.
