What is a professionally managed course?
Mountain Biking is a sport with multiple inherent risks in a dynamic outdoor setting with great distances, unlike traditional sports such as soccer and hockey, which are in controlled environments. Recognizing this reality, we have developed a response system and team to manage our race courses. This is what we know it takes to safely manage a race course based on 20 years experience taking 15,000 racers through our system and having responded to many serious injuries:
• A course team trained in a system based on 20 years of experience in putting on races.
• A specialized medical team, integrated into the race course team, who are out on course and on the ready with extraction, mobility and communication tools.
• A doctor on call at the festival who works with all the paramedics in the event of an incident.
• Trucks on the ready with spine boards, oxygen, and advanced first aid supplies.
