On February 5th, an accident occurred during the 16th Hong Kong International Marathon when a 26-year-old male half-marathon runner collapsed after crossing the finish line and required immediate CPR and emergency resuscitation. After being transported to the hospital, the runner was confirmed dead.
Marathon Committee Chairman, Gao Weilin, stated that the deceased collapsed 40 meters after crossing the finish line. Medical Auxiliary personnel immediately began rescue efforts and the runner was rushed to the hospital accompanied by two doctors, but unfortunately, he passed away. Records indicate that the deceased had participated in half-marathons and 10km races over the past two years and had successfully completed them both times.
Gao Weilin mentioned that there were six hundred medical staff on duty at the scene, along with ten ambulances on standby, which he believed was sufficient to handle emergencies. The committee will conduct a post-race review to consider whether participants should be required to provide health certificates. Previously, there was consideration of requiring contestants to present doctor’s notes, but it was deemed impractical and difficult to implement.
