Doctor urges marathons to prepare for heat in a warming climate
Original: I treated heat stroke at the NYC Marathon. Marathons need to prepare for a climate-changed world
A physician who treated runners for heat stroke during the New York City Marathon argues that mass-participation races must adapt to hotter conditions driven by climate change. Writing in STAT, they describe medical cases on race day and call for better heat planning, cooling protocols and scheduling changes as extreme temperatures increasingly threaten endurance events.
Why now: Rising temperatures are making heat illness a growing safety concern for major endurance events.
