A 15-year-old girl from Oegstgeest collapsed about four kilometres from the finish line. Race organisers had set a minimum age of 16, but the registration system relies on runners entering their own details.

She was a month shy from 16 though, so would this not have happened if it was a month later? Who knows, but age limits are definitely not the holy grail here

Ah yes because it's well known that older people don't collapse at these sort of activities
