Finish Line Medical Tent- Presented by Medicine In Motion
The finish line medical tent is staffed by Dr. Martha Pyron who is board certified in Family Practice and Sports Medicine, Licensed Athletic Trainers who are trained to provide musculoskeletal injury assessment and first aid, and other nurses and medical assistants who are able to provide all race participants with excellent care on site. The medical tent is and supplied to treat common triathlon related injuries and illness, and to begin stabilization procedures for more severe problems. Any race participant who requests assistance will be evaluated in the medical tent and treated based on event protocols for athlete medical care. The medical team may authorize transportation to a nearby hospital in case of serious injury or illness, but will likely be able to manage any medical need an athlete will have including stitches, splints for injury, and bandages.
