Well, as it is for me ISO 8000 is the absolute highest I'd go, and even then I bear in mind that if I'm shooting that high, the lighting is probably too lousy to get any decent result anyway.
All along the track, I've seen the resident marathon photogs set up ambushes with "proper" lighting because they have to get clear shots of every runner they can (so that those can buy the photos later). I can't imagine doing the same - and moving all across the city loaded with that stuff - though.
In any case, mostly I'm shooting daytime sports anyway; the nocturnal marathon was an exception because it has been moved to its original time frame after years of being "just another" marathon.
