2014 Agenda
Pace Teams
Rite Aid Cleveland Marathon is
providing pace leaders for runners
looking to nish at various times
between 3:00 and 5:25. For more
details on this free service, visit the
Pace Team Booth at the Expo.
Running Numbers/Bibs
Competitor numbers (bibs) should be
pinned only to the front of your shirt.
Do not remove the bottom tag.
Start Seeding/Corral
Runners should line up according
the Corral Letter assigned to their
bib. Each corral assignment is based
on estimated nish time for the
runners specic race. Please look for
the Corral Letter assignment (Elite,
A F, Walker) on your bib and nd
the corresponding feather banners
identifying the location of your area
within the start corral.
Look for corral letter banners in
start area to nd the appropriate
start location based on the letter
on your bib.
ChronoTrack Timing System
Runners 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 Divisions
There 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
ve male and female nishers 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 ofcials and move into the
running division.
Restrooms
175 porta-johns will be strategically
located at various points along the
course near water stops. There will
be an additional 200 porta-johns for
restroom use near the start and nish
of the race.

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 rst 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 chang 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 nish!
When you nish the run, keep walking
as you cool down; it prevents painful
cramping.
