Support Crew
Support Crews - the motivating force behind each of your
teams!!! You cannot do this without these guys...
 |
Every team must have a Support Crew on call for the
entire event and you may call on this crew to assist at any time.
Support Crew provide food, water, First Aid, or any other
assistance as required by the team, but the Coastrek team must
remain within 200 metres of the designated route to receive Support
Crew assistance.
Support Crews may NOT transport Coastrek Team members in vehicles
at any time during the event, except in a medical emergency.
Failure to abide by this rule will result in immediate
disqualification of the entire team. Your support crew may meet you
once within the first 50kms and once within the second 50kms and
again at (or nearby) the midpoint and the finish.
If a team member is withdrawing due to exhaustion or injury, the
St John's number or 000 must be called for help, and then the
Coastrek Emergency number must be contacted (this will be on your
race bibs) and the withdrawal must be reported. He/she must be
brought to the nearest 'manned' check point by team mates or
Support Crew for assistance or taken to the nearest hospital if the
injury is serious. If a team member cannot be moved, one person
must stay with her while the other goes for help.
