Tips for Spectators and Participants
There are activities throughout the marathon weekend for runners, friends and families to enjoy together. But when the starting gun fires Sunday morning, you’ve only got a few hours to find each other along the course and at the finish line. The easiest way to guarantee you and your friends see each other is to plan ahead. Here are some planning tips to help make your marathon day a success.
On The Course
- Map out where you’ll be ahead of time by knowing your runner’s pace time.
- Know what each other will be wearing or carry a sign or balloon. Sometimes it’s easier for runners to spot spectators than the other way around.
- Pick a side. Communicate where you will be, and watch from the same side of the road. This will help runners see and find you.
- Plan for traffic. Allow extra time to get from one viewing spot to another. Get there early and don’t leave if you don’t see someone right away. Your runner may be having a really good day or a tough one.
- Cheer on other marathoners!
After The Race
- Runners are routed to the Winn-Dixie Runners’ Village and then to the Family Reunite Area on Mayo Clinic’s campus.
- Set a time and place in the Family Reunite Area to meet in case you miss each other at the finish line.
- Relax with friends and family at the Post-Race Celebration and rock the afternoon with Sister Hazel starting at 12:45 p.m.
