11th Sfendami Mountain Festival - ESTM Thessaloniki
Health coverage of ΕSTF Thessaloniki during the two-day run of the 11th Sfendami Mountain Festival, which included semi-marathon road races, bicycle races and - as the highlight - the long bike marathon. The volunteers confronted only minor injuries of the athletes that were directly addressed by the team members. Once again, ATVs have proven to be necessary in such races, since inaccessible paths are common occurence. Their assistance in search, rescue and transfer of athletes was important, in cooperation with the telecommunications that were organized perfectly for the immediate information and contact of the volunteers with the central command and the organization.
