Are You A Medical Professional?
Medical volunteers are needed to care for athletes at the start line, along the course and at the finish. You must be a credentialed professional; background checks will be made. There is some opportunity for medical student groups to work alongside professionals. Students must seek approval from the team captain before registering; lone students are typically not accepted.
