– People were unconscious, confused and unable to tell what they have been to. This is what Dr. Erik Thomassen says at the emergency room at Haraldsplats Diakonal Hospital. He describes the scenes at the hospital after getting ten patients who had participated in the Bergen City Marathon on Saturday. The runners had damage to the internal organs. It was Bergens Tidende who first mentioned the case. Many were tired when they reached the goal during the Bergen City Marathon. This is a random runner, not one of those who needed help. Photo: Skjalg Ekeland – not Durk -driven A total of 18,000 people participated in the marathon in Bergen. The people who were hospitalized were in their 20s and 30s. They were unconscious, or fainted just before or in the target area. – My impression is that these are not daring long -distance runners. These are young people who have not run such distances before. He emphasizes that the patients were not poorly trained, but that they were not top trained. – What is the common denominator? – They have all made a heavy overload of the body. They have not listened to signals from the body that this is starting to be dangerous. Senior physician Erik Thomassen welcomed several patients who had run the Bergen City Marathon this weekend. Several of them were unconscious and could not explain, he says. Photo: Private / news Most have now been discharged also 13 runners were admitted to Haukeland University Hospital. It was far more than last year. Then there were a couple of pieces being checked for heartbeat disorders. The picture was quite different this year. – Those who came in were unconscious. It took a long time for them to come back to themselves. It was a very hectic guard, says Communications Director Erik Vigander in Helse Bergen. Most people who were hospitalized are now printed. – I hope and believe that they do not get lasting damage from this, says Dr. Thomassen. Many needed health care during the Bergen City Marathon this weekend. 23 people were hospitalized.

There were no “risk people”, I think. Øverlie has been a watchman for the last five years. This year’s race was particularly labor intensive. – There was much more to do this year. It has enough to do with the heat and the sun that roasted. It can also be about a lack of drinks and nutrition, he believes. Those who needed help were in and out of consciousness, and were difficult to get in touch with, says guard Peter Nyrud Øverlie for the Red Cross Relief Corps during the Bergen City Marathon. Photo: Private / news The runners’ own responsibility CEO Roger Gjelsvik of TIF Viking believes it is naive to believe that a marathon does not cause anyone to have some form of problem, which means that they need health care. – There is no doubt that it is those who run, who have to take responsibility for their own health, he says to news. He emphasizes that the organizer does quite a bit for people to be best prepared. They have joint training where you can train in the whole or parts of the trail in advance. – During the event, I encourage people to help each other, feel and not push themselves more than necessary. So they have a nice day and a nice evening on the couch afterwards, he says. Hi! Thank you for reading the case! Are you thinking about something? Do you have anything on my heart that I should write about? I am very happy for an email. Published 28.04.2025, at. 20.21 Updated 28.04.2025, at. 21.32
