Riders 1st Responders
First aid and CPR training built for off-road riders. When a rider goes down on a trail or race course, the first person there is often another rider. This class helps you know what to do until help arrives.
Trailside Trauma & First Aid Training with Racer Rescue
Training for the people who are there first
Since 2017, Riders 1st Responders has brought hands-on first aid and CPR training to racers, team staff, course workers, club members, and families. The Foundation covers most of the cost so the class stays affordable for riders.
Classes are taught by experienced medical instructors, and the content is shaped around what actually happens off-road: remote locations, long response times, and injuries common to the sport.

Michael"I really appreciate the KC66 Foundation and all the things they do for the offroad community. The first aid/CPR class is a perfect example... having basic skills as a likely first responder will save lives."
