All MEs were recorded by race medical staff on race day each year. MEs were retrospectively coded by severity, organ system, and final specific diagnosis (2019 consensus statement definition on mass community-based events).

Heat illnesses accounted for most MEs: hypothermia I = 0.54 (95% CI, 0.41-0.71) and hyperthermia I = 0.46 (95% CI, 0.34-0.62). Central nervous system MEs were also common (dizziness\/nausea, I = 0.79; 95% CI 0.63-0.99), followed by the cardiovascular system MEs (exercise-associated postural hypotension, I = 0.36; 95% CI, 0.26-0.51).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The overall incidence of MEs was low compared with longer-distance races (21.1-90 km), but the incidence and relative frequency of serious\/life-threatening MEs (44% of all MEs) was much higher.
