Abstract
Interest and participation in running as a sport are continuously increasing among runners, particularly those over the age of 35. Runners may encounter adverse medical conditions in races involving long distances, such as ultramarathons. Interactions between runners and their family physicians play a crucial role in maintaining runner health. This case presentation examines the blood tests conducted under the guidance of a family physician and the assessment of sports performance of a 62-year-old male runner during and after a 27-day running program. This case study aims to investigate adverse medical conditions that runners may face, including acute kidney injury and exercise-associated hyponatremia, along with strategies to safeguard runner health. Keywords: acute kidney injury, hyponatremia, rhabdomyolysis, running, health
