McAfee said multiple people tried unsuccessfully to resuscitate Bruemmer.
Organizer Scott Langen said the event continued for the many others who had trained and prepared for months, but said a dark cloud remained over the celebrations at the finish line.
"As far as the family, our hearts go out to them, and immediately when an incident like that occurs, our shift in focus goes to that family," Langen said.
Bruemmer's cause of death has not yet been released.
