EPI PEN If you have known allergies and have been prescribed epinephrine by your physician, Spartan Race strongly urges you to carry your auto- injector on course at all times and use it immediately at the _irst sign of a severe allergic reaction. Using epinephrine, the medicine in your EpiPen Auto- Injector, immediately after you have been exposed to your allergy trigger may prove to be life saving. You may not always have predictable reactions and sometimes there may not be enough warning signs before a serious reaction occurs. However, if you are experiencing a severe allergic reaction then hesitating to use epinephrine or not using it at all can lead to a life- threatening situation. If you use your EpiPen, notify the course medical team immediately. There are many sturdy carrying case options available online to protect your auto- injector against the abuse that the course will deliver.
