	The current text seems to be saying that marathon runners can't listen to music because devices aren't allowed to transmit data. This doesn't make sense, since music could be played from a device that can't transmit. Is it that marathon runners can't listen to music, full stop?

	: So far as I can tell, it's just wrong. IAAF rules allow the use of data-transmitting devices such as heart rate sensors, body temperature sensors, etc., provided they can't communicate to ''another person''. Meanwhile, UK Athletics rules permit the use of headphones on closed roads (though they ban them on non-closed roads and for cross-country races). Of course, individual organisers may impose more stringent restrictions, so it's possible that they're ''de facto'' banned, at least for competitive athletes.

		+	Just a sidenote, to someone else's page edit about allowable device uses in marathons, I'm most familiar with a branch of cycle sport where earphones/etc are banned (mainly, I believe) for safety reasons (reduces proper awareness of traffic, etc), but also no speakers. Unsure of the original intent, could be a mix of road-awareness, being a public nuisance, the pacing issue as most linked to the comic; also, only recently have something like mini bluetooth speakers been available, perhaps to fit in a spare bottle-cage... Though that's not to say that I haven't seen someone ride a hill-climb with a boom-box bungeed to the rear-carrier, as a novelty/performative challenge.
		+	<br/>You ''are'' allowed to have a mobile phone with you, if you so wish, but you shouldn't be using it hands-free and (while not strictly illegal, unlike for motor vehicle drivers) it would be impractical and unsafe to be using one 'hand-on' whilst actually competing, and the benefits of being 'remotely paced'/otherwise encouraged would be against the spirit (if not the letter) of the rules however you did it.
