The Detroit SonoW.A.R (Ultrasound Wilderness Adventure Race)

Thursday, June 1st 2023 | 8:15 am | Belle Isle Pavilion 8

The first ray of dawn creeps over the horizon. You enter Belle Isle, a historic park nestled in international waters between Detroit and Canada, with a tingling mixture of curiosity, excitement, and trepidation.

 

There is an electricity in the air. You have determination in your eyes and iced coffee in your veins. It begins! You trek 4 miles around the Island - rain or shine - armed with only your wits, your teammates, and a hand-held ultrasound (provided).  You find and conquer 10 hidden stations that challenge your ultrasound skills, test your wilderness medicine knowledge, and push your boundaries of innovative concepts in Emergency Medicine.


The race is done. It's over! You have left it all on the battlefield. You leave exhausted... yet rejuvenated... and dare we say, enlightened!? 


Food, drink, and T-shirts will be provided. The sense of adventure is up to you to bring.

History

Every spring, the faculty from Wayne State University's Advanced Emergency Medicine Fellowship invite emergency medicine residencies and medical schools from across Michigan to come together for an annual ultrasound competition, designed to promote resident wellness, collaboration, and education.


This June 1st 2023 we are again taking the show outdoors. Armed with ultra-portable point of care ultrasound devices, our contestants will break up into small teams to brave the natural obstacles of Detroit's historic and famous Belle Isle park to accomplish a gauntlet of emergency ultrasound and wilderness medicine scenarios and board questions. May the best team win!

Time

Please arrive at 8:15am for registration and orientation and coffee! Your team must be gathered and registered because your clock starts ticking at 9:00am sharp.  Note: there is sometimes a delay crossing the bridge and gaining entrance in the park, so please give yourself extra time. The race will not wait for you!

The event will conclude at 12pm with lunch and then a Grand Finale at 1pm back at Pavilion 8.

Park Fees

Per the Belle Isle official website: 

Fee: Vehicles entering the island require a recreation passport ($12 annual pass for Michigan residents grants access to all MI State Parks.) Passengers, pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit riders do not require a passport. 

​Bridge: The bridge to enter Belle Isle Park is located at the intersection of Jefferson Ave and East Grand Blvd. The Park's administration office  is located at 99 Pleasure Drive, Detroit, MI 48207. 

SonoWAR Event Location

Your race begins at Pavilion 8 located centrally at Detroit's historic Belle Isle Park

What To Bring

The race will be held rain or shine, so please dress accordingly. If you die of hypothermia, the good news is that at least there will be hundreds of emergency medicine residents on the island to help resuscitate you.


Please wear comfortable shoes. To hit every station you will need to cover up to 3-5 miles of terrain.


Also please bring a compass (or compass app on your phone), and ballpoint pen (in case of emergency cricothyrotomy.) (Just kidding.) (Maybe.)

BYOB or BYOL

For this event you are encouraged to BYOB - Bring your own Butterfly IQ handheld ultrasound device, or BYOL - Bring your own Lumify handheld ultrasound device. (There is no alcohol allowed.) 

There should be plenty of devices to have one per team if you do not have one. 

Scoring

Final scores will be calculated based on a combination of speed and number of objectives correctly accomplished. The primary objective is education and fun, the secondary objective is to show which residency has what it takes to bring home the trophy!

Register your team now!

Your residency must register in advance to attend (below)

We want this day of education and wellness to be free of charge to all residents. However we do ask your sponsoring institution to donate to keep this event going in the future!
