Paris, France CNN —A runner has died while participating in the Ultra Trail of Haut-Giffre (UTHG) competition on Saturday, organizers said in a statement, amid rough weather conditions in the area.
The runner was not identified in the statement and organizers said first responders provided aid while awaiting transport.
The four runners fell “in a mountainous area made slippery by the weather,” Bonneville public prosecutor Karline Bouisset told BFMTV.
The three injured runners had all been transported to a hospital, according to Bouisset.
Organizers were forced to postpone the start of the run due to “difficult weather conditions” earlier on Saturday.
