While CRO members were standing by for an update on ‘the mystery of the missing runner’. RAYNET / Race Control advised that one of their marshals had encountered an injured walker and his injured son near the top of Horton Scar Lane (‘the Hull Pot track’). The father had been carrying his son (4) on his shoulders and tripped, sustaining a slight ankle injury and propelling the child to the ground. By chance, an off-duty paramedic saw the accident and was able to dress the child’s head wound. Three CRO members attended in a team Land Rover and assessed the pair but opted not to disturb the dressing. Discussion with the father, already familiar with sports concussion protocols, led to agreement that they would visit A&E on the way home and they were taken back to their own car, parked in the village.
