But if you are going to have heatstroke, you could do it in a worse place than Falmouth. They have enough people, equipment and experience to handle lots of cases. And medical director John Jardine has documented nearly 500 cases of heatstroke in more than two decades — so many the race has attracted researchers.Race medical director Dr. John Jardine poses for a photo in the finish line medical tent on Saturday, Aug. 17, 2024, a day before the annual Falmouth Road Race in Falmouth, Mass.

Heatstroke is a dangerous illness caused by heat and runners are at increasing risk as climate change creates more hot days. It can damage organs and kill if not quickly treated. A lot of races aren’t prepared to offer the right care. (AP Video: Jeff Roberson)Getting victims into a tub of ice water is the best way to quickly cool them. And it needs to happen fast, with quick diagnoses to treat runners on the spot. Medical staff need rectal thermometers to gauge temperature when skin can be deceptively cool.

“I can’t guarantee everything that is going to happen in the future,” Casa said. “But based on over 3,000 cases we’ve tracked, if someone’s temp gets under 104 within 30 minutes of the presentation of heatstroke, no one has ever died.”

He said there isn’t good data on how many races do it right. From his decades of experience, very few do, although generally he said care is better now than when he started. Casa suggested governing bodies for racing should publish heat-related recommendations for safety.He was later identified by police as John Sheldon of Brooklyn. He had been mistakenly identified by police earlier in the day as Sheldon John.

Authorities said they were searching for the other rider, who they described as in his 20s or 30s and who was dressed in black and wearing black headphones.Police said the two men got into an argument on a train after the other man stepped on Sheldon’s shoes. Sheldon was stabbed on the train and in the subway station after the two got off, police said.

Earlier this month, Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said there had been no homicides in the transit system during the first three months of the year for the first time in seven years. She added that subway crime from January to March had decreased to the second-lowest level in the first quarter in 27 years.Violent crime is rare overall in the system, which carries millions of riders every day. However, recent high-profile attacks, such as
