Methods: Data from two voluntary open-ended pre-race medical screening questions (Q1 – history of allergies; Q2 - history of chronic medical conditions/prescription medication use) were collected in 133 641 Comrades Marathon race entrants (2014-2019). Race-day ME data collected prospectively over 6 years are reported as incidence (per 1000 starters) and incidence ratios (IR: 95%CI’s). | en_US |
