Email and website communications during race week will inform you of the current EAS level and provide race weekend preparation tips. Updates will be made at Packet Pick-up via public address announcements and color-coded signs.

For the safety of all participants, volunteers and event staff, only those requiring medical assistance may access the medical facilities. If you feel like you need medical assistance on race day, you are encouraged to seek help from a medical volunteer or visit a medical tent in Garfield Park or on course.

HAM radio operators, located in the Medical Tent, will be responsible for changing EAS flags. Event Alert System (EAS) course condition flags in the affected area will be changed to BLACK. Once runners are stopped, medical volunteers will scan the crowd for runners requiring medical assistance.

SECTION 5 | COURSE MARSHAL VOLUNTEERS COURSE MARSHAL VOLUNTEER ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES
The following has been agreed upon and discussed with the Chicago Police Department as the general responsibilities of course marshals at the Bank of America Chicago 13.1. PARTICIPANTS
Your primary objective along the 13.1 Mile Run course is to keep the route clear of spectators and other hazards. The lead wheelchair athletes and elite men will be travelling at sub-five-minute mile pace (around 12 mph), which leaves little time for action or reaction once they are in your view. Please do all that you can to prevent people from crossing the route when the lead athletes are passing. Slower runners and walkers will certainly need your encouragement and support. They may need your advice too. This packet gives details of the nearest aid stations and additional on-course runner amenities for participants. RESOLVING ISSUES
A police officer will be stationed at most intersections throughout the 13.1 Mile Run course route. Introduce yourself to the police officers 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 police officers for assistance. The 13.1 Mile Run course is broken down into three sectors. Creating sectors throughout the course allows the route to be managed more efficiently. The coordinator in your sector will be able to escalate any issues to Forward Command that cannot be resolved locally. Course marshals along the course route are encouraged to call Event Support (the phone number is located on the back of your credential) if you need help with an unreasonable person. If you encounter a medical emergency, call the medical emergency phone number located on the back of your credential. SPECTATORS AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC
The Bank of America Chicago 13.1 welcomes the support from local residents along the course on race day. Spectators wishing to cross the route should be encouraged to wait for a gap before crossing. In areas where the course is narrow and/or crowded, please remind spectators to stay on the sidewalk and outside of the course route. If spectators are stepping into the street, please respond by saying, “Help us make room for today’s participants by staying on the sidewalk and keeping the course clear.” You should familiarize yourself with your area of the course. You are likely to be asked a number of questions by participants and spectators, such as: When will the first and last runners pass this point? Refer to the pace guide on the following page. Where are the nearest bathrooms? Bathrooms are located at each aid station. Refer to the course map in the last section of the document.
