The incident occurred around mile five on the Canadian portion of the course, race director Aaron Velthoven said. The man was taken to Windsor Regional Hospital Ouellette Campus, where he was later pronounced dead, Velthoven said.

“Our condolences – we are sad, our sympathy goes out to them, they really do,” Velthoven said. “It’s a difficult thing. It’s a difficult thing for anyone to hear that call over the radio.”

The man’s identity will be released after his family is notified.
