Man Collapses, Dies Running Half-Marathon in Oklahoma

A 27-year-old man from Tulsa, Okla., collapsed and died while running the Route 66 half-marathon Sunday morning in windy conditions. His name has not been released.

Chris Lieberman, executive director of the Route 66 Marathon - an event that hosted more than 9,000 runners in a marathon, marathon relay, half-marathon, and 5K and one-mile runs during the weekend - said the man went down just after 9:30 a.m. at about the 10-mile mark. "He was immediately helped by a physician, who performed CPR," Lieberman told the Tulsa World. "Other medical people who were participants in the marathon stopped to help, as well. Our staff was on the scene within two to three minutes, and the ambulance arrived within five minutes."
