They are not injured or ill, just having a hard time of it.

Unless I was racing against them, I would work with them from the sidelines to do what needs to be done.
It would not be cheating to run a while off-track with a racer to break their loneliness.
Sometimes the world of the long-distance runner is one where just a voice can help them break through that wall.
They'll stop soon enough of their own accord if they are truly broken, and until they are, quitting should not be an option.

Keep Going. Cheer them on in fact. Because they are in a race and that alone puts them in a competitive arena. They don't want to stop either, they want to finish but their body is telling them stop now or I'll hurt you later. And you'll pay dearly for it. But runners go to the wall and pass it so much they may not really know how far they can go. I don't think they can spell quit. Not that they don't know how, no I'm not saying runners can't spell, they just want to compete and finish what they started. Just digging that hole deeper aren't I.

If they are struggling and they are not hurt then they can go on. If they go to a point that is beyond there normal body capabilities they will "hit the wall" at that point they won't hurt but when they come down off the wall they will start having physical difficulty. At that point their body will tell them. Until then I would make sure they are properly hydrated and support their effort

In England we have a nasty sarcastic thing where we say
"chop chop"
Which means 'hurry up', every knows that it means that, but no one knows why...
I did a team boating event last month, but had no part in the construction of the boat, which collapsed into its component atoms almost instantly leaving us all in the drink and at the back of the pack...it was for charity rather than prestige etc., and in front of hundreds of thousands of people, all of whom were wailing with laughter and very sarcastic...
The British Disease, they do it to me, I do it to others...a horrible cycle methinks

Obviously, this person wants to complete the race. Man, what happened to helping others? Encourage!

NEVER SAY DIE!
Encourage them with compassion and understanding. That means saying things like, "Yeah...you can do it. You're really doing great, Keep on hangin' in, Buddy!"
and NOT saying things like, "Come on you wimp, get movin'...don't be a pvssy!"
Those mean encouragers should be shot!

Sometimes it's just that little bit of encouragement that makes all the difference. I would say "keep going - you can do it"
