Participation in ultramarathon races and knowledge of these athletes continues to
increase as the sport becomes more popular. Physicians and athletes need to
better understand the impact of the unique aspects of ultramarathon races, such
as race environment (temperature, humidity, and altitude), race distance, race
stages, nutritional requirements and equipment, on athlete injuries and illness.

important for avoiding long-term medical issues. In this article, the evaluation
and treatment of common musculoskeletal injuries and medical illnesses in
ultramarathon runners are reviewed.
