Chicago: Ten people were hospitalised, including a 47-year-old man who suffered a cardiac arrest, during the 2012 Chicago Marathon, officials said.
Race medical director Dr. George Chiampas declined to where the runner was from and wasn’t sure if the runner had a previous heart condition, AP reported.
The man was alert and talking on Sunday after being shocked twice, he said.
The runner suffered the cardiac arrest near the end of the race: around the 21st mile.
None of the injuries or ailments were life-threatening, said Chiampas.
