Description:

Southern Lakes Ultra Marathon organisers are standing by their safety plan after a mass rescue yesterday in hills near Arrowtown.

Eight people were evacuated and taken to hospital with mild hypothermia after ten personal locator beacons were activated during heavy rain.

Crew member Glenn Marvin says they followed all the right procedures, but he understands why family members were concerned when they heard the news.

"The people in charge of this event have been part of, and helped organise multiple events, and there is an absolutely iron-clad full health and safety plan that was independently audited."
