A RUNNER. A HURDLE. AN UNEXPECTED COACH.

T

HIS IS HOW my doctor became my coach. This is not your typical “I got hurt and my doctor made me better” story. Although I did, and he did.

Being new to distance running, there were a lot of things I simply didn’t know, like when my shoes were too old, what pain was bad pain, what diet is optimal for a runner.

As a result, I ran in shoes that I shouldn’t have, pushed through pain when I should have stopped, and didn’t fuel my body the way I should.

Dr. Harrast (UW Physician, Harborview Medical Center) is my doctor and a competitive triathlete. He knows runners.

It was his expertise that got me through shin splints, a turned ankle and a tendon injury. His mentoring guided a smarter training schedule that helped me complete my first marathon. And his support helped give me the confidence to do something else in that first marathon: I qualified for Boston.

Both courses are fully paved and provide wheelchair athletes the opportunity for unbridled competition. The lead wheelchairs will have an escort throughout the race.

Wheelchair competitors should especially note the risks regarding the nature of the course such as bollards and the possibility of other traffic on the course.

If medical assistance is required on the race course, contact one of the orange-capped radio operators, who can call for emergency assistance or van transportation if required. If you drop out, please notify an aid station attendant, radio operator or anyone inside the information booth in the Victory Recovery Area so the information can be relayed to the event support staff.

RISKS: As with most sports, participating in a marathon or half marathon involves a number of inherent risks, including but not limited to tripping and falling, contact with other participants or spectators and the effects of weather, traffic and road conditions.

Because the courses are run on roads, streets and trails, there are posts and possible potholes. Additionally, there may be other foot and bicycle traffic on the course. All participants need to be prepared to avoid obstacles and traffic. In submitting your entry, you are acknowledging your awareness and assumption of all risks associated with your participation. You are certifying that you are medically and physically fit to safely compete in this event.

SAFETY RULES: The Seattle Marathon Association is a member of the Road Runners Club of America and as such is required through its membership insurance to exclude entrants with bicycles, skateboards, baby joggers or strollers, roller skates, roller blades or animals. iPods may be used, but are not encouraged by RRCA or the Seattle Marathon Association. For safety reasons, if a course official asks you to remove your listening device, please do so. Entrants choosing to violate these safety conditions pose a danger to all participants. Persons found in violation of these

safety rules will be disqualified and removed from the course.

VICTORY RECOVERY AREA: Medical attention, hot soup and other refreshments will be available in the Victory Recovery Area, located in the Seattle Center Exhibition Hall. There will be designated changing areas for men and women as well as a DJ for your entertainment.

RACE DAY INFO

Saturday, November 28, 2015 at 10am Seattle Center Memorial Stadium / $25

Bib Numbers: Participants must have and wear (pinned to the front) their official Bib Number. Kids running with groups must get their bibs from their group leaders or let their group leaders know that they are picking their bibs up individually. Parents and group leaders may pick up bibs at the following times and locations:

The Seattle Children’s Kids Marathon promotes fitness, reading, eating healthy and good deeds for kids in kindergarten through eighth grade. Kids complete a full 26.2 mile marathon at a rate that is fun and safe for their growing bodies — one mile at a time. Kids are also encouraged to read 13 books and perform 13 “Do Rights” and eat 13 healthy foods. On Race Day, the kids gather at Seattle Center to complete the final 1.2 miles together in a celebratory event that includes kids-style medals, finisher certificates, space blankets, t-shirts, goody bags, food and lots of fun!

THE COURSE On Race Day: Kids run the last 1.2 miles of their “marathon” together starting at 5th and Harrison, next to the Experience Music Project. They run around the Seattle Center, past the Space Needle and down Mercer Street, finishing their marathon in Memorial Stadium. See the course map at www.seattlemarathon.org for details.

Leading up to Race Day: Kids run or walk the first 25 miles of their “marathon” one mile (or ½ mile) at a time on a safe, secure route designated by parents, coaches or teachers. The program should take 6-8 weeks to complete depending on the fitness level of your child. A less active child may need to start earlier to complete the program. As they are completing their miles, kids also complete their reading and do-rights (good deeds). For suggested foods, books and do-right ideas, visit the Seattle Children’s Kids Marathon pages at www.seattlemarathon.org.

PLEASE NOTE: One parent/coach may run with each child, but it is not mandatory. Should you choose to run, you must wear a Bib Number. For safety, no one is allowed on the course without a bib.

For lost parent/child reasons, both the child and adult bibs will contain the child’s information. Young children in strollers will also need to be entered into the event and wearing a bib number to be on the course.

Arrive Early: Nearly 2500 kids are expected to participate in this year’s Seattle Children’s Kids Marathon. Please allow time for traffic, parking and check-in. Parking near the Seattle Center is available in several pay lots.

Limited on-street parking is also available.

Marathoners can keep track of their progress with the trackers provided on the website. Register by November 17th and you will receive via mail, the trackers, instructions, tokens and award certificates to be given to your child as he/she completes the miles, books and do-rights. If your child registers with a school group, these materials will be given to the school leader for distribution.
