One of the deceased fell and hit his head (cause of fall unknown) and the details on the other 2 deaths have not been released yet. Nothing in the stories I saw mentioned anything about the physical condition or training of the runners. Weather was between 28 and 41F during the race and not expected to be a factor. I did see a couple of more responsible stories that mentioned how rare something like this is.
Our condolences to the families and friends of the deceased on their loss. That is terrible - you go out to run a marathon and end up dead.
As an aside, if you Google "Detroit Marathon..." it will automatically fill in "Detroit Marathon Deaths" for you and bring up a slew of stories. Just for kicks, I typed in "McDonalds De..." and got "McDonalds Deals", "McDonalds Delivery", "McDonalds Deluxe", "McDonalds Dessert". I also tried the same experiment with "Fast Food De..." and had similar results. I would wager that fast food kills a lot more people than running, but running gets the Google hits.
