title: A 'shocking' finish to the Dam tot Damloop event.
abstract: A patient with status epilepticus after long-distance running is described. The patient, a young woman, was brought to our hospital with status epilepticus after completing in a running event, probably caused by an extremely low phosphate level of 0.30 mmol/l. Hypophosphataemia is a rare complication of running and can be caused by the use of phosphate in the glycogenolyticand glycolytic pathway.
