The great car racing names live on because they are not associated with just a single race track. That isn’t the case at all. It is for most normal deaths but there is a desire from supporters to remember all of those who died on the Mountain Course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One which some people will understand and some won’t. It is estimated that 10 people die every year training for the London marathon. One or two die during or immediately after the event. Sometimes they get a mention. No call to ban the marathon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on, it is highly unlikely that it is the event that kills them, if c20,000+ people enter the London Marathon it is to be expected that some will die of various causes in the build up. In 40 years there have been a dozen or so deaths during the event, or 1 every 3 or so years, almost all from heart disease related cardiac arrest. https://www.sportsperformancebulletin.com/endurance-injuries-and-health/endurance-health-and-lifestyle/london-marathon-incidence-injury-illness-death/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are being very silly. You do not die training or running unless you have a pre-existing condition. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Risk of death during a marathon, 1 in 150,000 participants. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6606059/ Risk of death during the TT races, unknown, but 264 fatalities would require 39.6 million participants to be equal with marathons. No call to ban the marathon. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
