Obstacle course runs: review of acquired injuries and illnesses at a series of Canadian events (RACE)

Abstract

We found that 1.2% of race participants presented to onsite medical services. The majority of complaints were minor and musculoskeletal in nature. Only 2% of those treated were transferred to hospital through EMS. This is consistent with other types of mass gathering events.

Hurt on the Hill: A Longitudinal Analysis of Obstacle Course Racing Injuries

“…These results are congruent with previously reported results internationally, which demonstrate rates of less than 5.0% (0.4%-3.74%), regardless of event specifics or country of origin. 1 , 5 , 9 , 10 , 15 , 16 The EMS transport rate of 1.0% found in this study also aligns with currently published findings, which have demonstrated that less than 4.5% (0.13%-4.2%) of injures require an EMS transfer off site. 1 , 5 , 10 , 15 , 16 In summary, these findings, in collaboration with the previous studies cited, may indicate a stable trend in injury rates across the sport; up to 5.0% of participants will suffer an injury during OCR events, and less than 4.5% of all sustained injuries will require ambulance transport to an ED.…”

“…The findings of these studies have shown that despite event specifics, difficulty, distance, location, terrain, or environmental factors, the rate of injury has consistently been between 0.40% and 3.74%. 1 , 5 , 9 , 10 , 15 , 16 Similar rates were found for EMS transport, consisting of 0.13% to 4.2% of all injuries treated. 1 , 5 , 10 , 15 , 16 There is currently no consensus as to what the upper limit of injuries or hospital transfers is.…”

“… 1 , 5 , 9 , 10 , 15 , 16 Similar rates were found for EMS transport, consisting of 0.13% to 4.2% of all injuries treated. 1 , 5 , 10 , 15 , 16 There is currently no consensus as to what the upper limit of injuries or hospital transfers is. Traditional road races (5K/10K and marathons) also have surprisingly little conclusively published data on injury rates/patterns, making a comparative analysis difficult to complete with confidence.…”

“… 1 , 5 , 9 , 10 , 15 , 16 In Canada, Lund et al 16 encountered 1458 injuries over 6 Canadian OCR events, finding an injury rate of 3.74% and an emergency medical services (EMS) transport rate of 1.1%. Hawley et al 10 reported an injury rate of 1.2% and an EMS transport rate of 2% over 8 Canadian OCR events. Coleby and Thibeault-Rivard 5 reported the highest known EMS transport rate of 4.2% and the lowest injury rate of 0.4% after reviewing 12 Canadian Spartan Races.…”
