The men's marathon at the 2018 Commonwealth Games, as part of the athletics programme, was held in Southport Broadwater Parklands, Gold Coast on 15 April 2018.

[1] Scotland's Callum Hawkins was the race leader with seven kilometres to go, and led the field by two minutes.

At 28 degrees Celsius, the race conditions were unusually hot and Hawkins suffered exhaustion and collapsed on the road.

He briefly tried to continue but again collapsed, hitting his head on the road side barrier.

Paul Bush, chair of Commonwealth Games Scotland, asked for a formal review of the situation and to see if changes could be made in future races to prevent such outcomes.
