Digestion is a lower priority than running, if your body is properly trained. If you are properly trained, your body will anticipate a race and shut down your digestive system, decreasing blood flow to the system by up to 80%, allowing for better oxygenation of your active muscles. Right before it shuts it down, your body will empty anything and everything it possibly can from your digestive system. If you are not taking a shit within 45 mins of the start of your race, you're doing it wrong.

Digestion will take place a notable amount of time before running. Runners do eat quite a bit of carbohydrates a day before a running event. This is known as "carbo loading". However, fries aren't carbohydrates. They're starch, fried in saturated fat, so he should drink water with what I assume is a comparatively low amount of food, to dilute whatever fat and salt is there, and to make use of the starches (and the resulting glucose).

Again, it shouldn't take much effort to digest such a small meal, and by the time the marathon begins, it would have been completely digested for a few hours before.

Wait, what is your point even? All I'm saying is that, pretty much regardless of what he eats, he doesn't need to worry about having to shit during the race. That's all I ever said.
