Great Bangor Marathon organizers brief Glenburn on safety and insurance plans
Summary
Organizers of the Great Bangor Marathon told the Glenburn Town Council they have coordinated with Northern Light’s Medical Response Team, secured ambulance coverage for Bangor and can provide a Certificate of Insurance naming the town through USA Track and Field; volunteers will receive training and councilors urged careful selection for traffic control.
Laura McIntyre, organizer of the Great Bangor Marathon, addressed the council on the event’s certification, purpose and safety precautions. She said organizers met with Northern Light’s Medical Response Team, have secured ambulance coverage for Bangor and are working to provide an ambulance outside the city limits.
McIntyre said organizers can provide an additional Certificate of Insurance naming the Town of Glenburn through USA Track and Field, and that volunteer marshals will receive training before the event.
Councilor Chris Grotton urged care in selecting volunteers for traffic control. The council did not take formal action; McIntyre’s presentation served as a briefing and an opportunity for staff and council to raise operational questions.
