Dear Runner,

In just a few short weeks, we’ll be welcoming you to NYC for the experience of a lifetime. As you put the finishing touches on your training, please take a few moments to read this handbook, and make sure to pack it with you for the marathon. It’s chock-full of information that will help you during your time here—from getting to the expo to planning fun activities for your friends and family.

For details and the latest updates, watch your inbox for e-mails and check out the official marathon website, ingnycmarathon.org. Even if you’ve run with us before, there are lots of exciting new activities and events this year—the Mara-thon Opening Ceremony featuring the Parade of Nations and Inaugural Hall of Fame Presentation on Friday night, the NYRR Dash to the Finish Line 5K race through Midtown on Saturday morning for marathoners, friends, and family, and much more.

It’s hard to describe the special energy in NYC during Marathon Week, as 45,000 runners from around the world assemble to take on the challenge of running 26.2 miles through our incredible city. Perhaps Chilean miner Edison Peña captured the feeling best last year when he said after his historic run: “I wanted to show the world that I could do it. I struggled with myself, with my own pain. But I made it to the finish line.” That’s what it’s all about, right? We’re just so excited that you’ll be with us this year to take on the challenge, the struggle…and the achievement of crossing that finish line in Central Park.

This year, you can also look forward to unparalleled access to the race, even if you’re not running. In addition to our exciting broadcast coverage, we’re offering an enhanced Mobile Spectator App that lets marathoners and spectators put all 26.2 miles in their pocket. And, as ever, we have a top field of world-class athletes including defending men’s champion Gebre Gebremariam, as well as an extraordinary wheelchair field; more than 200 charity partners aiming to top last year’s fundraising total of $30.8 million; and our own NYRR Team for Kids helping us transform the lives of children.

It will all be here before you know it—but you’ll be ready, trust us. And our team—hardworking NYC agencies, dedicated sponsors, the best volunteers anywhere, and amazing NYRR staff and board of directors—will be ready for you. We can hardly wait.

Yours in running,

MARIA MORRA: 4-TIME ING NEW YORK CITY MARATHONER The Rudin Familyis proud to present The Samuel Rudin Trophy to the winners of the

ING NEW YORK CITY MARATHONSUNDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2011

The Rudin Trophy is given in memory of their beloved father, grandfather and great-grandfather, a long distance runner for the Pastime Athletic Club in the

Bronx between 1917 and 1923.

Samuel Rudin (1896- 1975)An avid long distance runner and civic leader, Samuel Rudin rose from humble beginnings on New York’s Lower East Side to become one of New York’s major builders and owners of real estate. Rudin joined the Pastime Athletic Club in the Bronx in 1917 while a student at City College and competed in long distance races as a member of the club through 1923. In 1925, he founded the Rudin Management Company, a real estate firm which presently owns and manages 22 multi-story apartment houses and 16 office buildings in Manhattan. Samuel Rudin was actively involved with many charitable organizations in New York City, including the United Jewish Appeal, Federation of Jewish Philanthropies, City College Fund and the Boy Scouts of America. In 1967, he was awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws degree by Iona College in New Rochelle, New York. Today the Rudin Family continues to play a major philanthropic role in New York City.

FROM OUR MEDICAL DIRECTORpacket at the start of a race. If you’re running a half-marathon or marathon, take

another salt packet at the halfway point. After the race, drink a sports drink that has

some sodium, and eat salted foods.

DRINK FOR THIRST. If you feel thirsty while running or racing, have 4 to 8 ounces

of fluid (preferably a sports drink that has some sodium in it) at an aid station or

whenever you feel that you need it. If you aren’t thirsty, don’t feel compelled to drink.

If you can’t use thirst as a guide, drink no more than a cup (8 ounces) of fluid every

30 minutes. Do not overdrink. Overhydrating can lead to hyponatremia (low blood

sodium); this condition can lead to nausea, fatigue, vomiting, weakness, sleepiness,

and—in the most severe instances—seizures, coma, and death. Before you run, check

the color of your urine: It should be pale yellow, like lemonade. Dark-colored urine

(like tea) indicates dehydration; completely clear urine may indicate overhydration.

In training, weigh yourself before and after your runs to get a sense of how much to

drink to replace the fluids lost. You should aim to weigh the same or no more than 2

percent less after you train. You’ll need to drink more in warm, humid weather than on

a cool, dry day.

AVOID NSAIDS (NON-STEROIDAL ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DRUGS) starting 24

hours before your race. These drugs, which include ibuprofen and naproxen sodium,

can limit blood flow to the kidneys, increasing the risk of low sodium (hyponatremia).

You can start taking them again six hours after the race. Tylenol (acetaminophen) is a

safe alternative before and during the race.

DON’T TAKE ANTI-DIARRHEAL OR COLD MEDICINES ON RACE DAY. These

drugs can have a dehydrating effect.

ALWAYS LISTEN TO YOUR BODY—DON’T OVEREXTEND. Train sensibly—

increase the distance and speed of your runs gradually, and recover by resting and

refueling between hard workouts—so that you don’t dig yourself into a hole. Working

with a coach or training group can help you stay within safe and healthy parameters.

Listen to your body. Don’t ignore feelings of illness. An “off” or “just not right” feeling

can be a sign of a serious medical problem. The marathon medical team is available at

the start, every mile along the course, and at the finish. Most runners who spend time

at a medical aid station are able to finish the race.

ON RACE DAY. Make sure your friends and family know the Runner Information

Hotline number: 800.496.6193. They can call that number if they’re unsure of your

whereabouts after the race; they must know your race number.

FROM OUR MEDICAL DIRECTORSTAY SAFE and HEALTHY in TRAINING and on RACE DAYBY STUART WEISS, MD, NYRR MEDICAL DIRECTOR

Running is one of the healthiest things you can do for yourself, but as in any sport,

there can be health and medical risks. Follow these tips to stay safe.

HAVE A PHYSICAL EXAM BEFORE YOU START A REGULAR EXERCISE

PROGRAM. Tell your physician the planned volume and intensity of your training and

racing. Be as clear and precise as possible; for example: “I plan to start a walk/run

program and gradually build up to running. My goal is to run a five-hour marathon in

November.” The exam should also include a discussion with your doctor about health

risks based on your family and personal health history.

HAVE AN ANNUAL PHYSICAL, NO MATTER HOW HEALTHY YOUR LIFESTYLE.

Many conditions and syndromes are unrelated to your exercise level and have mild or

vague symptoms or no symptoms at all. If you’re over 40, get an exercise stress test,

and follow up after the exam by getting any other tests that are recommended. See

your doctor immediately at any time if you experience new chest pain, pressure, un-

usual sweating, or shortness of breath. Less urgently, see a sports medicine physician

if you feel any pain while running that causes you to change your form.

USE CAFFEINE CAUTIOUSLY BEFORE RACES. If you habitually drink a cup or

two of coffee or tea in the morning before you run or race, or consume a caffeine-

containing energy gel during a run, feel free to do the same on race day. If you don’t

normally use caffeine before or during your run, don’t do so on race day; you may

experience dehydration or stomach upset. Some research suggests that the caffeine

equivalent of two cups of coffee can limit blood flow to the heart during exercise.

Discuss your risk with your doctor so you can make the best decision.

CONSIDER TAKING A BABY ASPIRIN BEFORE YOU RUN OR RACE. Some

doctors recommend a daily baby aspirin (81 mg) to runners to reduce the risk of

sudden death while running due to clumps of platelets forming in the blood. Discuss

this risk with your doctor so that you can make an informed and responsible decision.

TAKE SALT BEFORE AND DURING RUNS AND RACES OF 10K OR LONGER,

unless salt is contraindicated by your doctor. Consume salty foods in the days leading

up to the run or race, and ingest common table salt before and during your work-

out or race to maintain the body’s water-to-sodium balance. Take one fast-food salt

COURSEPlease note that the marathon course is completely closed to vehicular traffic

during the race. See ingnycmarathon.org for schedule and details.

MILE/KILOMETER MARKERS and CLOCKS• Mile signs and clocks will be posted at every mile. Before mile 8, clocks marked with

color-coded signs correspond to your start color. After mile 8, all mile markers are

orange. Course clocks will be set to correspond with Wave 1.

• Yellow kilometer signs and clocks will be posted every 5 kilometers.

• Timing mats will be located at the start, every 5K (3.1 miles) to 40K, the half-

marathon (13.1 miles), every mile beginning at mile 8, and the finish.

• There will be video checkpoints and volunteers checking race numbers along the

course. Be sure that your race number is pinned to the front of your shirt and clearly

visible. Failure to appear at video checkpoints may result in disqualification.

FLUIDS and FOOD• Poland Spring® Brand 100% Natural Spring Water will be available at the start and at

official fluid stations every mile beginning at mile 3.

• Gatorade® G Series Pro Endurance Formula™ will be available at official fluid

stations every mile beginning at mile 3 except at mile 17.

• Fluids will be dispensed in recyclable cups. There will be tables on both sides of

the course. To avoid the bottleneck at the first table, get a cup from a later table.

Please keep moving after you pick up your cup.

• The Poland Spring® Hydration Zone—including water stations, sponges, and

music—will be located at mile 17 on First Avenue.

• At the PowerBar Gel Energy Zone at mile 18, assorted flavored PowerBar Gels will

ENTERTAINMENT/CHEERING ZONESMore than 130 bands along the course will motivate and entertain runners and

spectators alike. A special stage at Columbus Circle sponsored by United Airlines

will provide inspiration for the final two-tenths of a mile, and there will be live

entertainment at the finish line.

ING and other sponsors will host cheering zones along the course for spectators to

root for the marathoners. Cheering zones will feature spectator amenities such as

sign-making supplies, fun giveaways, and DJs. Check ingnycmarathon.org

COURSETOILETSPortable toilets (including wheelchair-accessible ones) will be located every mile

beginning at mile 3.

MEDICAL AID • There will be medical aid stations on the course approximately every mile starting at

mile 3 and at the finish. For help during and after the race, look for medical stations

adjacent to each fluid station and sports medicine volunteers wearing red medical

T-shirts.

• Medical volunteers and supplies will be available at all aid stations. If you incur an

injury or feel discomfort, stop at the nearest aid station. Most runners who seek

medical attention are able to complete the race safely.

• The NYRR medical team will be equipped with Philips Automated External

Defibrillators (AEDs) in ambulances along the course and at post-finish medical

tents to provide trained medical professionals with the tools they need in a

life-threatening emergency.

SWEEP BUS and STREET OPENINGS• Sweep buses will follow the marathon route at a 61/2-hour marathon pace, roughly 15

minutes per mile, after the 10:40 a.m. start. These buses will transport any entrant

who wishes to drop out to the post-finish area.

• After the sweep buses pass by, the city streets will reopen to traffic. Cross-street

protection, medical assistance, aid stations, and other services will no longer be

available. Runners on the course should move onto the sidewalks.

• The official ending time of the race is 7:00 p.m.

DROPPING OUT• If you need to drop out, look for a volunteer ham radio operator wearing an orange

hat or report to a medical aid station, where ham radio operators are also stationed.

Ham radio operators will take your name and forward the information to the infor-

mation kiosks at the finisher area and the Runner Information Hotline number:

800.496.6193. Let your family and friends know beforehand that they should check

the information kiosks or call the hotline if they are unsure of your whereabouts.

Make sure your family knows your race number.

• If you have not completed the course, do not go through the finish line, or you will

be disqualified and barred from future ING New York City Marathons. Instead, enter

Central Park at West 72nd Street after 7:00 p.m. to claim your baggage. Baggage is

also available for pickup Monday morning starting at 8:00 a.m..

RULES and REGULATIONSSECURITYNYRR works with city, state, and federal authorities as well as private profession-

als to devise and implement a comprehensive security plan for event participants,

volunteers, spectators, and staff. Some aspects of security may mean delays or slight

inconveniences at selected events, and we appreciate your understanding and coop-

eration. Please bring government-issued photo ID to all marathon-related events, and

know that bags may be searched, checked, or not allowed.

or chip assigned to another person; transferring or attempting to transfer an official

number or chip to, or to obtain such number or chip from, another person; being
