On-Course Medical Support

• Medical Bike Teams
• Medical Vans
• Aid stations
  • 5 on the Half Marathon Course
  • 12 on the Full Marathon Course

The On-Course medical volunteers will evaluate medical problems the runner may encounter.  An appropriate assessment includes vital signs and mental status.

The volunteer will call into Medical Communications via 2-Way radio or cell phone.  Do not call 911.  This keeps the medical care centralized and therefore better coordinated.

A decision will be made whether to:

• Continue runner
• Withdrawal and transfer to the Finish Line Medical Tent
• Transfer to hospital via ambulance

A runner can continue if:

• Normal mental status (Oriented to person, place, & time)
• Straight line progress toward finish
• Good competitive posture
• Clinically fit appearance
