A runner has tragically died after collapsing at the finish line of Cardiff’s half-marathon. Run 4 Wales said that it was with “deep regret” they confirmed the death of one of this year’s participants at the event.
More than 29,000 people took part in the half-marathon that took over the streets of the Welsh capital on Sunday morning, reports WalesOnline.
A spokeswoman for Run 4 Wales, who organise the event, said that the runner was immediately attended to by the medical emergency team at the finish line before being taken to University Hospital of Wales, where they later passed away.
