ARRMS, the American Road Race Medical Society, brings together all medical professionals:  physicians, EMTs, nurses, physical therapists, physican assistants, and others who work or volunteer at any road race from the 5k to the ultramarathon. Many of the founding members of ARRMS have been at the forefront of “running medicine.” They helped usher in medical services to road



races. Today, runners find aid stations along the course and a hospital-like setting emergency room triage at finish lines. Their leadership has helped standardize protocols and operational planning at major running events across the world. Join this group and help shape the medical education, training and care for road race events for many years to come.
