According to The Guardian, police in southern California are investigating the circumstances that led to the hospitalization of nearly 30 runners who took part in the Santa Barbara Half on Sunday. The outlet reported that the 13-mile race was held amid unusually high November temperatures. Its report, written by Abené Clayton, is available in full at The Guardian's report on the Santa Barbara Half illnesses.
The Guardian reported that runners sought medical treatment after the race. Its headline describes the illnesses as "unusual symptoms," but the summary available for this story does not list what those symptoms were.
Santa Barbara police told the Associated Press, as reported by The Guardian, that they had opened an investigation after receiving reports. The available text does not say who made those reports or what they described.
The Guardian's summary also does not say whether the investigation has reached any conclusions, whether any of the runners remain hospitalized, or whether race organizers have made a statement.
Because the material reviewed for this story is limited to a summary of the report, the cause of the illnesses, any figures beyond the nearly 30 runners cited, and the current status of the police inquiry were not described.
