The annual Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon, held on January 21, 2024, witnessed an impressive turnout of 74,000 participants in the full marathon, half marathon, and 10-kilometer (10K) races. Despite the excitement and sense of accomplishment surrounding the event, unfortunate incidents of injuries occurred among the runners.
During the marathon, several participants experienced discomfort or suffered twisted ankles, requiring assistance from race personnel to exit the track. As a result, a number of individuals were transported to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital for medical treatment. Among the injured, two men were admitted to the hospital in an unconscious state. One of them underwent cardiopulmonary resuscitation and is currently being closely monitored. The other individual regained consciousness later.
As of 9 a.m., a total of five runners have been injured and hospitalized. Fortunately, four of them are in stable condition and have been transferred to Kwong Wah Hospital, Eastern Hospital, and Queen Mary Hospital, respectively.
The Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon, a highly anticipated event, saw a return to pre-pandemic participation levels, with both the full and half marathons starting from Tsim Sha Tsui, and the 10K race commencing at the Eastern Corridor. All three races converged at the finish line in Victoria Park.
It is unfortunate that some participants suffered injuries during the marathon. The organizers and medical staff worked diligently to provide immediate assistance and ensure the well-being of the affected individuals. The incident serves as a reminder of the physical challenges associated with endurance events and emphasizes the importance of proper preparation and care during such races.
多名跑手在渣打香港馬拉松賽期間住院，其中一人昏迷不醒
2024年1月21日舉行的年度渣打香港馬拉松賽吸引了74,000名參賽者參加全程馬拉松、半程馬拉松和10公里賽事。儘管這項賽事帶來了興奮和成就感，但不幸的是，一些跑手在賽程中受傷。
在馬拉松賽期間，有幾名參賽者感到不適或扭傷了腳踝，需要賽事工作人員的幫助離開賽道。因此，一些人被送往伊利沙伯醫院接受治療。在受傷者中，有兩名男子昏迷不醒被送入醫院。其中一人接受了心肺復蘇術，目前正在密切監測。另一名受傷者稍後恢復了意識。
截至上午9時，共有五名跑手受傷並入院治療。幸運的是，其中四人情況穩定，已被轉送至廣華醫院、東區醫院和瑪麗醫院。
渣打香港馬拉松是一個備受期待的賽事，今年的參與人數恢復到疫情前的水平，全馬和半馬的起跑點位於尖沙咀，而10公里賽事則在東區走廊開始。三項賽事最終在維多利亞公園的終點匯合。
很遺憾一些參賽者在馬拉松賽期間受傷。主辦單位和醫療人員努力提供即時援助，確保受影響者的安全。此事件提醒我們耐力賽事所帶來的身體挑戰，並強調參加此類賽事時正確的準備和照顧的重要性。
