Running a marathon is an incredible achievement, but race organizers need to be prepared for medical emergencies that can occur during the event. This Marathon Participant Emergency Contact Form helps race directors, event coordinators, and medical teams collect comprehensive emergency information from every runner before race day.

This template is designed specifically for marathon and endurance event organizers who need to maintain accurate emergency contact details, understand participants' medical histories, and establish clear protocols in case of on-course incidents. Whether you're organizing a local 5K, half marathon, full marathon, or ultra-distance event, having this information readily accessible can be life-saving.

The form captures essential details including race bib numbers for quick identification, multiple emergency contacts with relationships and phone numbers, detailed medical history including conditions that could affect performance or require special attention, current medications, allergies, and critically important DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) bracelet status. It also establishes clear mile marker collapse protocols so medical teams know exactly who to contact and what actions to take if a runner needs assistance during the race.

Paperform makes it easy to collect, organize, and access this sensitive information securely. With conditional logic, you can show relevant follow-up questions based on medical conditions, and the mobile-friendly design means runners can complete the form quickly from any device. All submissions are encrypted and SOC 2 Type II compliant, giving both organizers and participants peace of mind about data security.

Race directors can integrate this form with their registration platform, sync emergency contacts directly to Google Sheets or Airtable for quick access by medical staff on race day, or use Stepper (stepper.io) to automatically send confirmation emails to emergency contacts, notify medical teams of high-risk participants, or trigger pre-race safety briefings for runners with specific medical needs.

This template is perfect for marathon race directors, running clubs, endurance event companies, sports organizations, athletic departments, and charity race coordinators who prioritize runner safety and need professional, comprehensive emergency preparedness systems.
