Any aches and pains?

Athleticare will be at the park and fairgrounds every Tuesday at 5:30 until shortly after the runs start to assess and answer any of your running aches/pains and questions.

Jerry Sullivan is the athletic trainer in charge of the medical portion of Abe's Army. St. John's Hospital/AthletiCare provides medical coverage for all the races in the Springfield area. As part of their coverage of Abe's Amble, they provide an athletic trainer or a physical therapist on Tuesday's at 5:30 p.m. at the Pavilion at Lincoln Park and the pavilion in front of the grandstand at the fairgrounds for their "curbside consultations." They will stay until the last group goes out which is around 6:15 p.m.

They also provide a free walk-in clinic staffed by an athletic trainer on Wednesdays at 4:30 p.m. at AthletiCare.

This is a great way to have any nagging problems or questions answered regarding any running related issues. Thanks Athleticare for providing this wonderful (free) service!
