The Philadelphia Marathon is unique as a city-owned and -operated event, with medical coverage provided by the city.

I wasn't aware of this.
30 heart attacks out of 1.7 million participants, or 1 of every 57,000, is not dangerous at all.
If you faced a 1 in 57,000 chance of a heart attack every day, and lived a hundred years, your lifetime risk of a heart attack would be less than 50 percent. (47.3)
You need to work on your analytic skills...
the risk is overall low, but during the last quarter of a marathon it increases. This has been shown in data from Twin Cities as well.
The good thing about something like this is that it gives RDs a chance to position medical personnel appropriately. You need more at the end than at the beginning for instance.

Yes, it increases to a still VERY low level. How's that for analytical skill?
Still bad, because you ignored his point in favour of repeating your own. The marathon needs to be ready for heart attacks at the end of the race.
