Runner identified in Army Ten-Miler death
Posted : Monday Oct 8, 2007 17:48:23 EDT
ARLINGTON, Va. — The runner who collapsed and died at the Pentagon near the end of the Army Ten-Miler race this weekend was identified Monday as 25-year-old Michael Banner.
His employer, Kimley-Horn and Associates in Herndon, confirmed Banner’s death. The Fairfax County man was treated by medics after he fell to the ground about 10:40 a.m. Sunday and was taken to George Washington University Hospital.
Julie Beauvais, a spokeswoman for Kimley-Horn, said Banner was a civil engineer at the company’s traffic division. The Army has not released his name.
The cause of death is still unknown. Army spokesman Colonel Jim Yonts says an autopsy was to be performed. He says the runner’s family had been notified of the death.
Yonts says one other person has died in the 23-year history of the event, in 1990.
