  • A doctor every time
  • Today, every day.

What does the appointment involve?

The doctor screens your heart and circulation, including any warning history such as blackouts, chest pain on exertion or a family history of sudden cardiac death, and checks your blood pressure and general fitness for the event. A resting ECG can be arranged, which many endurance events and older participants should consider.

Is there anything else I should know?

Bring the event's own medical form if there is one, and tell the doctor the distance and conditions so the assessment fits the event.
