Very sad event. I was at the event and although it was very warm, course support was very good and aid stations were ready to go. Not sure if due to preexisting conditions or other reasons. Feel free to update this thread if anyone finds any information.

Rare event. 90-95 of sudden deaths during (half) marathons are male.

Interesting, any reason why that is?

Fat men don't care what they look like in running shorts so 90-95 of overweight marathoners are men.

Watch the micro (or macro) aggressions, you heartless bass-tud.
While a soccer player she did not have much road racing experience according to Athlinks.com records--a 4 mile race she ran 3 times with the last time in November being a much slower pace than prior races. I think most runners run a few half marathons before attempting their first marathon. Running in high temperatures are difficult for anyone but it can be even more so for a runner with little racing experience and possibly no long race experience who has been training in the very cool weather we have had almost all spring now in the Great Lakes region. She may not have known how important hydration is during a long race especially in 70+ degree weather.
The forecast for the race is below. 70 degrees at 7 AM, 77 by 9 AM, 79 by 10 AM. Dew point of 61 and relative humidity of 73% at 7 AM.
One report says she lettered in soccer 2015 through 2017. He pace in her last listed race at Athlinks.com was 10 min/mile for a 4 mile race back in November which is much slower than her prior 4 mile races. At this point we don't know what her fitness level was on race day regardless of news reports that talk about her high school and earlier college sports activities.
The following video states she died just before 9 AM, just under 2 hours into the race. It also states she was near the finish line and that she was running the half marathon. There are deaths in half marathons too. According to another thread here there were three deaths in the 2010 Detroit Half Marathon.
