  • ChronoTrack Timing SystemRunners will again be using the B-Tag disposable bib ChronoTrack Timing System for accurate timing and scoring for runners. The timing system has nothing to do with your shoe! The ChronoTrack system allows race organizers to print an integrated tag into the bib for each participant, encoding the runners bib number into the tags chip. All you need to do is wear your bib appropriately and your time will be kept.

    Walking DivisionsThere are walking divisions for the marathon, half marathon and 10K. In order to compete in the walking divisions, you will be expected to walk the entire distance; completion of the course is on the honor system. The top five male and female finishers of each

    division will receive an award. If you win an award and did not walk the entire route, you will be expected to inform the race officials and move into the running division.

    Restrooms100 porta-johns will be strategically located at various points along the course near water stops. There will be an additional 150 restrooms near the start and finish of the race, including some inside Quicken Loans Arena.

    Water StopsWater, PowerAde, petroleum jelly and band-aids will be available at 14 aid stations along the marathon route, eight on the half marathon route and four along the 10K route (count includes finish line). Boom! will provide Energy Gel near mile 8, 15 and 20.

    Health & Fitness ExpoAll participants are required to pick up their packets and bibs on Friday or Saturday at the Health and Fitness Expo presented by Prayers From Maria Childrens Glioma Cancer Foundation. Late registration or packet pick-up will not be available on Sunday morning.

    Time:Friday, May 15, 11:00 a.m. 7:00 p.m.

  • Color-Coded Race Directional SignsIn order to make course navigation more simple, mile markers, course directional signs and the course map all reflect a certain color for each specific race. Marathon information will be BLUE; Half Marathon information will be RED; and 10K information will be GREEN.

    Color-Coded Mile MarkersMile markers also reflect our color-coding system. Marathoners should look for BLUE; Half Marathoners for RED; 10K participants should follow the GREEN signs.

For your own safety, please obey all signage and traffic control

    instructions. Closed streets will begin to open to traffic at 1:00 p.m.

  • What do you do to prepare yourself on the day of the race?

    1. Carbohydrates will fuel you for your endurance event. No need to change your diet, just avoid fatty foods and eat familiar foods prior to racing. Carry gels or simple carbs such as honey for use throughout the race.

    2. If it is a hot day, be prepared to adjust race pace to avoid heat exhaustion.

    3. Make sure you drink to thirst throughout the run. Avoid over-hydration as too much water can cause electrolyte problems such as low sodium. If hot, pour water over head.

    4. In a long run such the marathon, your warm-up may be to run the first mile easily. Avoid stretching a cold muscle. If you feel yourself tightening during the race, stop and stretch.

    5. Wear lightweight socks and broken-in running shoes to prevent blisters. Powder in the shoes reduces friction.

    6. Pace yourself. Pay careful attention to discomfort. There is a mid-way medical station and medical bike teams for medical assistance throughout the course.

    Warning signals what to look for:

    1. Symptoms of overexertion are nausea, vomiting, extreme breathlessness, dizziness, unusual fatigue and headache.

    2. Symptoms of heat injury include early-on piloerection (hair on end or goose pimples) on the chest and upper arms, the feeling of chilliness, headache or throbbing pressure, unsteadiness, vomiting, nausea, labored breathing, faintness and muscle cramps. Continuing to race with these symptoms may result in collapse or unconsciousness. Stop and get help.

    3. Blisters must be cared for early and band-aids will be available at all aid stations. Avoid blisters by applying lubricant to chafing areas prior to race.

    4. If stretching does not relieve cramps, stop at the aid stations.

    5. If you notice on a hot day that you have stopped sweating, stop immediately.

    The finish!When you finish the run, keep walking as you cool down; it prevents painful cramping.
