It is an absolute fact that all the runners who participated in the Brooklyn Half Marathon on Saturday declared that they had been vaccinated for Covid-19. Whether or not that is relevant to the unprecedented number of runners who collapsed or even the man who died during the event is another story.

Saturday’s running conditions were unusually hot and humid, even at 9 a.m. when the participant David Reichman is reported to have died shortly after collapsing after the finish line.

The New York Post reported that Reichman, a 32 year-old man, collapsed “after suffering from possible cardiac arrest, according to event organization New York Road Runners club and the NYPD.”

“The 22,000-runner race — from the Brooklyn Museum through Prospect Park to the Coney Island boardwalk — was held on an unseasonably hot and humid day,” the Post added. “The temperature at 9 a.m. at Coney Island was already 70 degrees with 83% humidity, according to Fox Weather.”

CORRELATION IS NOT CAUSATION

Just saying....

I’ve run a couple half marathons this year that required all runners to be vaccinated.

All of whom should have been in excellent shape.

That's not a requirement, and often not the case. More likely in a full marathon, but there are many participants who are not in great shape, but will walk/run most of the course. Still, it shouldn't be dangerous if you understand your limits and adjust your race based on conditions.
