Wow...the tone of that article is shocking, being from the USA. Here, public urination for basically any reason is considered a nuisance crime or a quality of life crime. Events like Bay to Breakers have draw much scrutiny because of public urination to the point where they banned alcohol. Granted runs for sport don't usually involve alcohol, if that occurrence was in the US, the urinating runners would be the ones on trial. My understanding of US law is that there is little (if any) right to privacy when urinating on property that is not your own or basically in a non-designated place.
