2017 Bank of America Chicago Marathon Course marshal information guide Thank you for volunteering for the 2017 Bank of America Chicago Marathon. Please take a moment to review the information in this guide so that you are fully prepared to fulfill your role as a Chicago Marathon course marshal. It s my pleasure to welcome you to the 40th anniversary of the Bank of America Chicago Marathon. Over the last 40 years, more than 740,000 finishers have collectively run 19,388,000 miles on our city streets. Through the echoes of their footsteps, the marathon has emerged as worldclass event and destination race for both debut marathoners and veterans of the sport. An event of this magnitude takes a lot of planning, coordination and hard work, and the end result is that thousands of people are able to achieve their dreams of finishing a marathon. Our team works year-round in planning the Chicago Marathon and our number one priority is that every participant, spectator and volunteer has a safe and successful experience. In order to achieve that goal, we rely on your help. This volunteer guide is filled with information that will help you assist participants, spectators and in some cases other volunteers. We can t thank you enough for your time and commitment to the event s success. As participants arrive from all 50 states and more than 100 countries to leave their mark on this year s milestone race, it s the volunteers who provide a helping hand and treat them to an experience that they will remember for a lifetime. Thank you again and we hope you have a great experience volunteering! Sincerely, Carey Pinkowski Executive Race Director Bank of America Chicago Marathon At the completion of your shift please share any comments about your volunteer experience and/or suggest improvements for the information program below to Brad Rogstad at brad.rogstad@cemevent.com. Roles & responsibilities The following has been agreed upon and discussed with the Chicago Police Department as the general responsibilities of course marshals at the 2017 Bank of America Chicago Marathon. Participants For the wheelchair athletes and elite runners, who will be the first athletes to appear on the race course, your objective is to keep the running route clear of spectators and other hazards. Wheelchair competitors will be the first athletes you see, and because they are a small group and often tend to race alone (instead of in packs), they heavily rely on course marshals to direct them and to keep the course free from spectators. Elite wheelchair racers are low in profile to the ground and may reach upwards of 20 miles per hour during the race. The elite runners will travel at sub 5:00 per mile pace (around 12 mph), which leaves little time for reaction or action once they are in your view. Please do all that you can to prevent spectators and volunteers from crossing the route when the faster runners pass by. As the main pack of runners comes through, please continue to keep spectators from encroaching on the race course. It s critical that the larger groups of runners have use of the full width of roadway throughout the race. If you are asked for locations of the on-course aid stations, refer to the map on pages 13 and 14. A police officer will be stationed at most intersections throughout the course route. Introduce yourself to the officers near you as soon as you arrive and let them know you are volunteering as a course marshal. If you need help with an unreasonable person, contact the officers for assistance. If you witness a person in need of medical attention, please call 312.781.6408 or 9-1-1 immediately. 1 2

Spectators and the general public The Bank of America Chicago Marathon welcomes the support of 1.7 million spectators along the course. Spectators wishing to cross the route should be encouraged to wait for a gap before crossing. Spectators should cheer for runners from the outside curb of the street and not stand on any part of the street, especially where it is narrow. Please familiarize yourself with your area of the course. Spectators and participants will likely ask questions such as: Where is the nearest Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) station? How do I get there? Refer to pages 7 and 8 for CTA locations along the course. When will the first and last runners pass this point? Refer to pages 3 and 4 for a pace guide. What is the nearest mile marker? Refer to the course map on pages 13 and 14 for the nearest mile marker. Where is the nearest aid station / toilet / medical tent? There are twenty aid stations located along the course approximately one to two miles apart. Each aid station has water, Gatorade, toilets and a medical tent. Refer to the course map on pages 13 and 14 for the nearest aid station location. Before the race begins, please familiarize yourself with the location of the nearest aid stations to your location and how to direct people there. Course arrival times Below are the estimated arrival times of participants at key points on course. Times include that of the first wheelchair athlete, first elite athlete, peak pack of participants and the last participants.
