I had that happen on one of my half marathons I ran, but normally not an issue for me. My belief was that during the race that I had the arm fall asleep, I was running with my upper body too clenched/too much stress and that tightness eventually ended up causing it to fall asleep.
Usually I try to run with my entire body relaxed to avoid that from happening, and if I find myself clenching my fists or holding my shoulders too tight, I'll make an effort to relax them.
