It’s pretty normal for people to die in this sport. Hell, the marathon is named after a battle where a messenger collapsed and died after making the journey.
For this particular race, this is the 7th and 8th death on record. Almost every marathon and especially ultramarathon has a fatality count if not hospitalization records
Death by running an ultramarathon doesn’t sound that unusual.
I would say an ultramarathon is an extreme sport.
