Rock and Roll Half Marathon Medical Coverage

[UTSW Sports Medicine]

sent on behalf of Dr. Robert Dimeff

Hello All,

UTSW will be the medical provider for the Rock n Roll ½ marathon Sunday, March 25th.  The race starts downtown at 8:00AM and finishes at Fair Park by 12:00 noon.  15,000 runners are expected.

 

We are looking for medical volunteers.  Volunteers can be put to work along the course (there are 6 aid stations) providing ice/bandages/Vaseline/fluids/assessments as needed.  There will be a “captain” of each station which will have between 4-8 volunteers; that person will oversee and assign responsibilities. 

 

There will also be 2 aid stations at the finish line and a medical tent with 24 beds.  Medical volunteers can also help there.  Please have any interested volunteers contact Brennan Frugé at brenna...@utsw.edu.

 

We’ll need title (PA, NP student, MD, etc.), specialty, mobile #, office/home #, email address, shirt size, and if you have previous experience.  Thanks.
