Minor Exercise-Related Issues
According to a spokesperson from Sir H. N. Reliance Foundation Hospital, the majority of runner presentations were minor and exercise-related, predominantly muscle cramps, fatigue, dehydration, and minor musculoskeletal complaints. These cases were managed effectively on site by trained multidisciplinary medical teams through prompt assessment, first aid, hydration, cooling measures, and physiotherapy support. Notably, no Priority One (life-threatening) incidents were reported on the course.
Effective Safety Measures
A structured triage system, early medical intervention, and clearly defined evacuation protocols—implemented jointly by the medical teams and Procam International—played a critical role in ensuring the safety and well-being of runners throughout the race.
