Who We Are: Purpose: Events: Membership: Club Directors: Members: Club Constitution & Bylaws established June 19, 2019 Trail Race Sweep Notes: Check in early at the starting aid station to get info from the aid station captain, medical and hams about any runner that they believe may have problems or is on the watch list. Verify communications with the aid station hams and net control before leaving. Start immediately after the last runner, but at no time ever pass the last runner. Report any runner stalled or having a problem to the closest aid station and your assessment of the runners situation depending on the rules of the event and your best judgement - runner decides to continue on or turn back or a race official decides; Who decides to call search and rescue or is medical available at an aid station and the captain decides the action?. In your best judgement, given the situation, can the runner make it back on their own or needs one of you to escort keeping in mind that if one goes back on the course, any other runners ahead who might need help will be one person less to help and could be on their own. Carry enough water and energy food for yourself plus any down runner you may come across. Carry first aid kit and salt tablets. Take a Red Cross first aid, CERT or EMT class to better know what to do when you come across a down runner, especially evaluating for dehydration, heat exhaustion or bleeding from a fall. While cell phones dont work well in the mountains, bring it with you to be able to give your latitude and longitude to first responders from its GPS and Google Map app - See Finding Your Location. Bring a trash bag if also taking down the trail or you come across trash. Dispose of it at home, do not use the bear proof forest trash boxes.
