• Part Safety Officer
o Our first priority is to provide a safe course for our runners. Please keep the course free of debris and communicate any medical/safety issues to your Medical Team member and Communications Team member.
• Part Cheerleader
o Cheer the runners on – it’s a long course, for some runners 26.2 miles, and you’ll be the only people they see for miles. Get up, get excited, and keep them moving.
o Be creative, decorate your hydration station in a theme, bring a radio to play music, wear funny hats – you’ll be part of the inspiration that keeps the runners moving.
o Do not tell runners they are almost there no matter where you are on the course. Use words of encouragement like “Good job!” “Keep going!” “Dig deep, you can do it!"
• Runner Hydration
o As runners pass by, shout what you are holding (water or Gatorade) and hand to runners as they pass.
o As you hold out cups to runners, hold cup at the bottom so runner can easily grasp cup from you.
o Continue to pick‐up cups that runners discard on course to maintain a safe and clear course for runners.
o Note: not every runner will take water or Gatorade at every hydration station.
