Description:

As runners are traveling deeper and more frequently into wild spaces there is a growing need for us to understand the fundamentals of backcountry medicine and how to treat injuries common to our sport. We’re teaming up with Backcountry Medical Guides to provide a 3-day, retreat style, Wilderness First Aid (WFA) certification course on Sucia Island. Through a blend of lecture and scenario training we’ll prepare runners with a foundation in backcountry medicine on one of the northwest’s most pristine islands
