HOW DO RACE DIRECTORS PLAN FOR FIRST AID?

I was hoping you could advise me on the best plan for first aid. We are hosting a 5K run/walk on May 21 in Floral Park, New York. This race has grown over the years, and if registration continues at this pace, we are projected to hit 2,000 runners.

SHOULD MY RACE GO WITH TRAFFIC, OR AGAINST?

I'm trying to get approval to hold a race. I am trying to design the run segment with safety being utmost. I have heard differing opinions on the way the course should be laid out.
