A woman in her 40s competing in the Cocodona 250 ultramarathon in Arizona passed away after suffering a medical emergency during the race, according to officials.

The runner reportedly collapsed near a trailhead south of Prescott while taking part in the massive 250-mile endurance event that stretches across northern Arizona.

The Cocodona 250 is considered one of the toughest races in the country, with runners traveling through mountains, desert terrain, and extreme elevation changes over multiple days.

Race organizers confirmed she passed away and said medical teams were stationed throughout the course. Additional details have not been released out of respect for the family.

The incident has sparked conversation online about the physical demands and dangers that can come with extreme endurance races.

Could you ever see yourself attempting a 250-mile race? 👀
