Sad story out of Kansas were a runner was struck by lightening and died while finishing a 50k race...
quote:
The man, 33-year-old Thomas Stanley, was running in the FlatRock 50k race at Elk City State Park in Kansas on Saturday, when a storm broke out.

Witnesses say runners and officials raced over to Stanley and attempted to revive him, but they were unable to save the runner.

He's survived by his wife and 3 kids, none of whom were at the race that day.
Thoughts and prayers to his family.
