UPMC staff and physicians, including members of UPMC Sports Medicine teams, were on hand this past weekend to support thousands of runners in the annual Pittsburgh Marathon. 17 aid stations were set up along the 26.2 mile route and provided all levels of care to participants, including resolving simple cuts and bruises all the way up to emergency care services.
More than 300 medical volunteers were at the races this weekend to lend a hand, which was fantastic as the UPMC Sports Medicine Pittsburgh 5K Race saw a record-breaking 5,500 runners take part. Thank you to all the volunteers who participated and congratulations to all the racers!
