Thanks to the quick-thinking medical team and emergency services on-site, the runner received immediate care. Their fast response was crucial in stabilising her condition, and she’s now on the mend in hospital.
The organisers expressed deep gratitude to all involved, from the medical staff to the everyday heroes who leapt into action. “We wish her a swift recovery and extend our thanks to everyone who helped so promptly,” said a spokesperson from Run4Wales.
