Hydration Tips from the Medical Director “Improper hydration is one of the most common reasons marathon runners end up in the medical tent. There are some general principles that should be kept in mind regarding proper hydration. You want to begin the race well hydrated.”
“It is recommended that athletes drink at least 16 ounces of fluid 1-2 hours before the race and another 16 ounces in the hour before the race. Rehydration rates during the race can be quite variable among athletes. The amount of fluid taken in during the race should approximate sweat and urine losses and maintain hydration at less than 2% body weight reduction. This generally requires 7 to 10 fluid ounces every fifteen to twenty minutes. Many runners optimize performance by drinking small amounts of water (4 to 7 ounces) frequently during the race. It is very important for each individual to figure out what works best for them well in advance of marathon day. “
Finish Line All marathon & half marathon participants will receive a finisher’s medallion and water and a trip through the 7-11 Runner's Refreshment Area.
There will be massage therapists available at the finish line for marathon participants, free of charge.
