(星島日報報道)日前舉辦的渣打馬拉松造成一死兩危殆悲劇，主辦單位昨證實其中一名危殆男跑手，當日是替朋友「頂包」參賽，他將不獲保險賠償。至於男死者，主辦單位指其死因必須與第三者疏忽有關，才獲賠償；死者家屬昨往殮房認屍時，神情哀傷。
　　
上周日舉行的馬拉松比賽，釀成一死兩危殆，共三十八名參賽者需送院治療。死者劉綽麟為半馬參賽者，年僅二十六，任職建築公司文員。大會發言人指，大會有替所有跑手購買「第三者保險」，須待死因裁判庭審案完畢，確定因為第三者疏忽而造成生命危險，死者家屬才有機會獲得賠償，但如果因為「自己問題」，包括跑手賽前缺乏練習，則賠償免問。
　　
死者家屬認屍痛哭
　　
發言人又證實，另一名年僅二十五歲、一度危殆的姓莫參賽者，當日是替朋友「頂包」參賽。發言人說，莫由於姓黃的友人在深圳工作，當日他代黃赴賽，使用其號碼布和計時晶片，但在號碼布背後改寫上莫的個人資料，出事後大會立即聯絡莫的家人，才揭發事件。發言人強調，由於莫並非真正參賽者，將不獲大會保險賠償。
　　
對於如何預防「頂包」案，發言人直指「全香港七萬人參賽，無辦法做到，唯有信參賽者」，大會未打算就此作特別檢討。
　　
猝死男參賽者劉綽麟的四女一男親友，昨晨九時許，到西環公眾殮房辦理認屍手續，各人表現哀傷，其中一名年輕女親友更哭成淚人，需親友安慰。眾人逗留約兩句鐘後傷心離去。
　　
至於仍留醫律敦治醫院的女跑手張維怡（二十四歲）及姓莫男跑手（二十五歲），經一夜搶救，至昨晨傷勢好轉，由危殆轉為穩定，張女已轉至普通病房留醫。

I would like to know what was the cause of so many serious injuries/death in this year's HK marathon. Well, may be it's not really especially high with 1 in 70,000. It's still very sad.

So is marathon running dangerous?
I think we really need to look into running as a sport. Like any sports, you need proper training to prepare for marathon running. You also need to consult your doctor to make sure that you are healthy enough to do such long distance running. During your training, you will learn about how to read your body and learn when to stop and when to push.
I did my first half marathon last year with almost 5 months of training but my friend told me that I was pushing myself a bit too fast. (from NEVER doing any sports before) And I did suffered from some injury during the training.

This year, I signed up again and had already started my training slowly in Dec. Hopefully by May, I can do it with confidence!

I think mostly heat overloading... Especially for those who work in the office and don't have a regular exercising schedule...
