Why go to the Expo? It’s where you get their Marathon T-shirt and goodie bag! It’s where you get to see new products and get free stuff. It’s also where you can get taped up. (Wear shorts or pants that you can roll up past your knees.)

Wristband and Emergency Info on Bib Instruct anyone helping runner to call the number on the wristband! Make them look at the number! Fill out MEDICAL and EMERGENCY information on the back of the bib in ink that doesn’t run or permanent marker. N ote: permanent marker may bleed through to the front of the bib.

What to wear to the starting line? Tell students to start looking for “throw away” clothes – Sweatshirts, raincoats, sweatpants etc. Wear to starting line, throw away once race starts

Avoid getting feet wet Get 2 cups of water. Wet head/face. Watch out for cups and banana/orange peels.

Bring sun block All skin types At least SPF of 15 or higher Remind guys that if they take shirt off because they are hot they will get burned and it may hurt rather than help
