The man known as “Uncle Chen” smoked one cigarette after another during the Xin’anjiang marathon in Jiande, China, on November 6.

Photos of Chen have gone viral on the web, as he is seen smoking.

The organization of the marathon even shared his time since it remains a real fact, but unreal at the same time.

Chen crossed the finish line in 574th place out of just over 1500 runners present at this colossal event.

Note that in 2018, during the Guangzhou Marathon, he took cigars and presented a time of 3 hours 36 minutes.

He did it before in 2019, during the Xiamen Marathon, that time smoking cigars, and dropping a time of 3 hours 32.

However, the runners who are near him during the 42km route dit not really appreciate this smoking session, which raised a lot of criticism towards the man…
