On or off the river, the extensive safety network provided by the Australian Red Cross, Victoria will provide you with competent and qualified assistance throughout the duration of the Red Cross-Herald Sun Murray Marathon.
Covering everything from first aid and massages to land and water patrols, a team of more then 200 trained Australian Red Cross volunteers will be placed strategically from start to finish, ensuring your peace of mind. In addition, the extensive radio communications network operated by Australian Red Cross and volunteer radio group WICEN (Wireless Institute Civil Emergency Network) during the marathon means we will always know where you are and how you're going - so you can get down to business without worrying!
That being said, it is still very important that you take care of yourself during the marathon. Australian Red Cross has compiled a series of recommended precautions to take both during your marathon preparations, and throughout the actual event.
