Portland Triathlon



The first annual Portland Triathlon took place in September 2007. This was the first ever medical tent run solely by a Naturopathic medical team. Students volunteered their time to assist the naturopathic doctors in the medical tent. The tent provided acute care to race participants for minor injuries and exhaustion. In addition to the medical tent, students assisted in directing athletes along the course. Approximately 20-30 students helped with the event. There were even a couple student relay teams.
