The organisers of the
Airtricity Dublin Race Series regret to confirm the collapse and subsequent
death of a male participant in today’s Half Marathon.
The runner collapsed at around the eleven
mile mark, and was aided by fellow runners and was attended to by the St.
John’s Ambulance medical crew on site. He was then transferred by ambulance to
hospital, but was later pronounced dead.
We would like to express our sincere condolences
to the family and friends of the deceased and would ask that the family’s
privacy is respected at this time.
