Abstract
Races so called Ultramarathon are those longer than a marathon. Nowadays these kinds of races are becoming more usual than they were some years ago. We have written this paper in order to learn about the consecuences of such long races on the health of the athletes. As a first step we review available bibliography on this topic. At the same time we performed a review about medical events registred during the Ehunmilak ultramarathon 2017th. Using the cientific knowledge platform Uptodate, we have done a research about illnesses related to sport practice, followed by a detailed classification of those diseases in different categories. We use medical assistance data collected by Gurutze Gorria between 7 and 9 of July of 2017 to build our data base. Once bibliography and data were reviewed, we concluded that most common sport practice related illnesses are light skin disorders (blisters mostly), and that sprains and muscular injuryes are also commonly finded. However, there are some more serious events and it is advisable to be prepared, building a high level organization system.
