Rock and Roll Marathon San Diego Canceled Mid-Race Due to Zombie-Like Haze, Officials Say It's Not a Drill
A strange, thick haze resembling smoke from a thunderstorm descended on the Rock and Roll Marathon San Diego course early Sunday, forcing race officials to halt the event at mile 10. Runners reported dizziness, discolored skin, and a "zombie-like" gait before security teams evacuated the waterfront. The San Diego County Health Department has classified the phenomenon as an "atmospheric anomaly," but locals are calling it a hallucinogenic fog. Emergency services are cautioning participants to shower immediately and discard race gear. Organizers insist it is not a publicity stunt, though rumors of a cloud-seeding experiment gone wrong are sweeping social media.
