What if the most dangerous thing you did this weekend was go for a run?

An hour later, one of the runners is dead.

The police are baffled. The pattern is the same, the deaths can't be coincidental. Is there a murderer picking off victims one race at a time?
Ten million adults are regular or occasional runners.
Ten million potential victims.
With the next event just announced, as you reach the start line you might just have to run for your lifeā¦
