An exhibition team's race time is not included in the final race standings. Once away from the threat of another bite, the injured person should lie still. While one team member remains with the injured racer, the other team member, or persons in the area should seek help immediately. Once race directors or an EMT is notified, a vehicle will be sent out onto the course to pick up the injured racer. The EMTs, race director, course director, will call either 911 or transport the injured racer to a medical facility.
Racers are responsible for providing and carrying their own water supply.
In the event that a racer is in desperate need of water, they may ask a volunteer for water. In the event that a racer suffers from dehydration, it is suggested they check with the first aid staff prior to entering the next leg of the course. Depending on the First Aide's recommendation, a racer may be advised to rest or to exit the race altogether. It is the racers final decision as to stop or keep racing. The EMT can override this judgment call.
