A seasoned ultrarunner from Michigan died after she collapsed during an arduous 102-mile footrace through a series of steep mountain passes in Colorado Friday. Elaine Stypula, 60, fell just three hours into the Hardrock Hundred Mile Endurance Run in Silverton, according to a press release from the San Juan County Sheriff’s Office. Authorities and Silverton Medical Rescue found Stypula on the “steep, rugged, remote” Little Giant Trail near Gold Lake, which is part of the grueling course, Silverton Medical Rescue said.
