Heat is lethal in marathons. The hospital tents were probably full after this one.
High humidity is being blamed. I just don’t remember reports like this at other times. (Colorado has the Pikes Peak marathon where hypothermia is a problem. Run to the top of Pikes Peak and back down. Gnarly)
I don’t understand (did not go read the article other than what is posted here), but to me, “injuries” means something different than how it is being used.
How were the 16 injured? Ankle sprains? Fell and broke their wrists? Or did they have heat-related issues or vaccine-induced heart failure?
Seems like there is a lot of missing info, IMO.
Seems like it was at most mid 70s around 9am
