LITTLE ROCK (AP) -- Marathon officials in Arkansas say a Wisconsin man has collapsed and died after completing the 26.2-mile race.

According to race officials, 27-year-old Adam Nickel of Madison was pronounced dead late Sunday morning near the finish line.

Emergency personnel tried to revive Nickel until an ambulance arrived with a defibrillator. He couldn't be revived and was pronounced dead.

Race director Gina Marchese-Pharis offered condolences and prayers to Nickel's family and friends on behalf of the Little Rock Marathon Committee.

Temperatures were in the high 50s during the start of the race and climbed to the mid-60s by late morning.
