I volunteered as part of the medical staff at the Little Rock Marathon today. I worked the 1st relay stop and later the 3rd relay stop. We only had mostly minor stuff -- some blisters, some muscle cramps, some mild heat/dehydration issues. At the 3rd relay stop, we did have some more major muscle cramps and dehydration issues. There was a death today. Adam Nichols, 27 yo, from Wisconsin collapsed at the finish line around 11 am. It was his 6th marathon. I would like to give my condolences to his family and friends.

Both made me smile.
The rest of these were taken at the 3rd relay station.

That's very sad about the guy who died.
Other than that, it sounds like a great way to serve your community!
So sad about the young man who died! We're hearing so much about these sudden deaths during marathons... makes me feel justified in keeping my plodding to 4 miles and under. :(
Midwife, it was a good day other than that. Thanks.
Val, you and I will just keep on plodding. :)
Condolences to the family.
