Why plan? !! “Marathons are not exercises in sports
medicine; they are exercises in disaster planning.”
"! Marvin Adner, Retired Medical Director, Boston Marathon
"! Estimates for deaths: as high as 1 in 50,000 at marathons to 1 in 300,000 at shorter distances.
"! Estimates for runners needing medical tx range from 1-3% under optimal weather conditions to 10% or more during extreme conditions.

Communication
!!Cell phones: "!Master cell phone list—designated person at
each aid station. "!Coverage. "! Standard-use v. “direct connect.”
!!Ham radios/walkie-talkie radios: "! Separate channels. "!Don’t use too many channels.

Communication
!!We have one designated person to receive calls from aid stations. EMS coordinator is right next to this person. There are two “loops” that intersect here: aid station medical and the EMS loop. Any transports are noted by either of these personnel and placed on a master list. We have all of the participants on a zip drive.

Communication !! Let local ER’s and ambulance companies
know when your event is. In GR most ER’s are aware of events and/or have the capacity to handle any transports. If the weather dictates the potential for many transports, the ER’s may not be prepared for an influx, or you are covering an event in a remote area, communicating with the ER and ambulance companies prior to the race is imperative.

Medical Tent !! Location:
"! 50-100 yards past the finish line is ideal. "! Large/long races a second smaller tent near food/
recovery area also needed (may double as an elite runner medical tent if one is needed).
!! Size: "! Depends on size and distance of race. "! 10x10 for small or short races. We use this size for
our 5/10K events up to the 50 miler with 600 runners.
"! 20x80 for our 20,000 person 5/10/25K race. "! Open/closed depending on weather/time of year. "! Consider heaters/port-a-john.

Start/Finish Area !! Make sure you have direct access to finish
line. !! Place medical and non-medical (catchers)
just past finish line. !! Use wheelchairs (EMS may be able to
supply) to transfer to med tent. !! KEEP AREA CLEAR!! Will need “security”
to keep people moving and families out. Work with race organizers to barricade/fence the S/F area in and create family meeting area.
