A number of runners had to seek medical assistance following Sunday’s race with most complaining that the temperatures, which reached the mid 80s, were to blame for their distress. At least 20 people were transported to area hospitals and another 1,000 sought help at medical tents set up near the finish line on
Ocean Avenue. Other than the few who were overcome by the heat, most runners of the massive race were pleased with the outcome and walked away with their finisher medals swinging back and forth and a feeling of accomplishment. “I couldn’t think of a better place to finish a race,” said Sam O’Melveny, a first time marathoner who is a senior at Dana Point High School. “The course was just gorgeous.” Those tasked with treating runners after the race said that there was no one way to tell if people needed assistance.
