A female runner died during the Two Oceans Marathon on Saturday, organisers confirmed.
The 43-year-old woman was participating in the half-marathon.
The runner, according to organisers, began experiencing severe discomfort before collapsing on Southern Cross Drive.
“Despite prompt and prolonged medical attention, the runner could not be resuscitated,” Two Oceans organisers said in a statement.
Carol Vosloo, general manager of the Two Oceans Marathon says: “We would like to extend our sincerest condolences to her loved ones, and also thank her fellow club members who gave up their own finish time to remain with, and assist her.”
