Team provides Standby Rescue Cover for the 2:09 Events Rivington Trail Half Marathon Event today.
Today for the sixth year running, the team provided standby rescue cover for this years Rivington Trail Half Marathon event.
Organised by 2:09 Events, the race enjoyed its sixth year in Rivington, with the route starting at Rivington & Blackrod School, and heading north to the White Coppice area, and then returning to Rivington via the Rivington Reservoir system.
This year the team concentrated as we have done since 2012, on providing standby rescue cover, rather than also undertaking some marshal duties as in the first three years of our involvement with this event.
Seventeen team Call Out list members and Support Group member Dave Rees attended to provide standby rescue cover, with members all around the course in three of our Land Rover Mountain Rescue Ambulance vehicles, and our Minibus crewbus / Ambulance
In liaison with the event organisers, our presence today was co-ordinated from our Incident Control Vehicle, callsign ‘Bolton Mobile 6,’ by experienced team members Bob Hutchinson (A former Bolton MRT Team Leader and Deputy Team Leader, and our current President) along very long serving team member Diane Blakeley.
During the course of this years event, the team dealt with a small number of minor injuries and retirements, which are noted here for information and interest but do not feature in our Incident Listings.
All were treated and some were advised to seek further medical advice.
The event concluded early mid afternoon, with all members present kindly receiving from the organisers, as with all the competitors, and others helping with this very well organised event, a thermal shirt emblazoned with the Event name.
The team is pleased to be invited every year to help assist with this successful local event by 2:09 Events, with thanks to their Managing Director Mike Gratton of 2:09 Events Limited, of Farnborough, and we look forward to the possibility of a seventh event in October 2015 and the continuation of our involvement.
There follows a personal account of the day – a little tongue in cheek, by our President Bob Hutchinson ;
