Grew up eating durian. Still love it but there's no way I'm running with one. Falling on it or dropping on your foot could cause some painful injuries.
Old saying from Malaysia-Singapore area: Durian tastes like heaven but smells like hell.

Nothing on earth smells like durian!

When I ran with the Hash House Harriers in Taipei back in the late 70s we did many funny runs such as this one.

I’ve only had them thawed from frozen, but they were a delicious almost vanilla custard flavor with no odor whatsoever. Were they not ripe?
