Marathon Runner's Dick Drops Out Mid-Race

Running a marathon has to be hard enough, but imagine if you thought you were smashing it only to be beaten by your penis and testicles. 

Oh, and then the whole world witnessed it to boot. Awkward.

Poor Jozef Urban's turn in the Košice Peace Marathon has gone viral after the long-distance runner's dick took the lead in a surprise - and prolonged - appearance.

The 31-year-old was nearing the end of the race when his genitalia popped out; whether Urban was aware that he was suddenly on a nudie run isn't clear but he finished regardless, coming in a respectable tenth place.

He also somehow managed to shave 27 seconds off his personal best according to the Association of Road Racing Statisticians, so maybe we should all start running private parts-first?

Or maybe someone should send Mr Urban a five-pack of Bonds.
