HPRS Clinics provides aspiring and veteran trail and ultramarathon runners with tools for their running toolbelt. Each clinic covers a specific topic area without the fluff to help runners be better prepared for the many challenges and nuances they'll face within the sport. Each clinic is taught by a veteran trail and ultramarathon runner or trained professional whose experiences lend a unique perspective.

MEDICAL ISSUES CLINIC
In this clinic, trail runners will learn the most common medical issues experienced during trail and ultramarathon events. More than just identifying the most common medical issues realized in the events, runners will learn how to prevent and/or treat those issues. 

This course features two classes: (2/4/2025 and 2/18/2025)

Class 1: All Systems Go
Exploring the three major systems of the human body: Circulatory, Respiratory, and Nervous.
We'll then explore the most common medical issues affecting these three systems and how to identify, prevent, and treat these issues. 

Class 2: Bleeding but Not Dead
Exploring the most common injuries we see at HPRS, including breaks, sprains, abrasions, rashes, and... FIXING YOUR FEET. 

Classes will be held on Tuesday Nights from 7-9pm Mountain Time. Each class will be recorded and uploaded to YouTube for those who cannot attend live, or for those who wish to review the materials. 

These classes are designed to help trail runners:
• Adequately assess their bodies while on the run

• Understand self-care designed to prevent issues

• Gain knowledge on what to do should a problem arise before it worsens

• Acquire basic medical knowledge for their runner tool belt.

Information will be provided on how to acquire certifications that would elevate the runner to the status of a trained medical person.
