Twin Cities
Marathon 2012: Making a Difference!
We have been saying for some
time now that, with the number of events that the Backcountry
Trail Patrol assists with, the time was coming when patrol
members would be part of an effort to save a life. That happened
at the Twin Cities Marathon on Sunday, October 7th. Backcountry
Patrol members Michael and Deb Randall were patrolling the TCM
10 Mile course and came upon citizens performing CPR on a downed
runner. They applied the patrol's AED and successfully revived
the man, who was turned over to paramedics, transported to the
hospital and is reported to be doing well.
Mike
and Deb, you done good!
What is the
Backcountry Trail Patrol?
The
Backcountry Trail Patrol is an independent, self-governing,
year-round volunteer trail safety, education and assistance
organization that provides services to all trail users in
the forests and parks of northwestern Wisconsin and
central Minnesota,
through mountain bike patrol in the riding season and x-c ski, snowshoe
and more recently, winter "fat-bike" patrol in the
snow season. The Backcountry Trail Patrol
is a member of the National Mountain Bike Patrol, and we are
affiliated as volunteer partners with the US Forest Service on
the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest and the Isanti
County Parks Department.
While on
patrol, we may be called upon to perform a wide variety of
duties; from supplying directions and offering maps and
information, performing light trail maintenance and repair,
giving emergency first aid, to encouraging compliance with the
forest and park rules and regulations. Patrol members are also
trained to assist in lost person searches and other emergencies
if the need arises.
