Dick Beardsley, Keynote Speaker Title of presentation: “Staying the Course”
Dick Beardsley, an accomplished marathoner and Olympian, is not only a best-selling author, but he is one of the world’s most extraordinary, respected, and compelling motivational / inspirational speakers. Dick speaks directly from his heart and is highly inspirational. He will be sharing inspiring stories about his life and the challenges that he has persevered through that make him who he is today. The story of Dick’s running career alone is the stuff of legends, but it is the story that comes after that draws people in and keeps them listening. Dick is a true survivor. After retiring from running, Dick had a series of near fatal accidents that left him addicted to pain killers.

Runner Safety Medical Personnel and Aid Stations There are 12 medical aid stations along the marathon course, and a medical field station at the finish. Look on the course map for the medical symbol. Medical personnel will be available to assist. Marathon Personnel Communication personnel and head course marshals will have radios and phones to contact emergency personnel quickly. All official marathon committee members will also be available. Police Officers Officers will be located at all major intersections where traffic
intersects the course. They will also be patrolling the course. Please keep in mind this is not a closed course. You must still follow the rules of the road. Volunteers There are hundreds of volunteers on marathon weekend. Most are not associated with the event except for one weekend a year, so understand that they may not have the answers to all your questions. However, in an emergency, do not hesitate to go to them for assistance as they should know how to get help quickly.
Rules of the Road • No one is allowed on the course without a properly issued race number. • Help keep the course beautiful by not littering. Respect the property of others while specatating.
• Spectators must stay clear of the course and off the roads to avoid interfering with the participants. • Hold animals on a short leash. Keep them away from runners and be considerate of others.
• No vehicles of any kind are allowed on the course. The course can be crossed only at designated intersections.
• Watch your children at all times. There will be thousands of participants and spectators at the events.
• Bikers should stay well off the course and watch for spectators as much as for runners.
• See maps for Lost Kids and Items booth locations.
“Life is often compared to a marathon, but I think it is more like being a sprinter; long stretches of hard work punctuated by brief moments in which we are given the opportunity to perform at our best.” - Michael Johnson 10 • MankatoMarathon.com

Tips for Spectators Make the Most of Your Marathon Weekend There are activities throughout marathon weekend for athletes, friends and families to enjoy together. But when the horn blows Saturday morning, you’ve only got a few hours to find each other along the course and at the finish line. The easiest way to ensure you and your friends see each other is to plan ahead. Here is some advice for everyone on marathon day. On the Course • Map out where you’ll be ahead of time. Check out the great viewing spots on the next page.
• 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 friend may be having a really good day or a tough one. • Cheer on other runners, too. It will mean a lot to them!

Favorite Cheers Clap, shout, and show your support for participants—it’s always welcome. Save the “You’re almost there!” cheer until the very end—a few miles is still a long way for someone who has been running for hours. Here are some favorites. • • • • • • • •
Keep smiling! You’re looking awesome! Running smooth! You can do it! Way to wheel!, or run! One stride at a time! Way to focus! Stay relaxed!
• • • • •
Keep it up! Welcome to Mankato! (when appropriate) Way to go! You rock! Call out something unique about a runner (bib #, the color or a logo on their shirt, etc.)
In addition to shouting your support, bring along cowbells, tambourines, thunder sticks, or make a sign. Many cheering supplies are available from sponsors at the Expo. Please be respectful of private and public property, and dispose of your cheering materials appropriately. Courtesy of Twin Cities Marathon Spectator Guide

Parking at Start Line On the morning of the race, busses will start taking people from the Verizon Wireless Center to the start line at MSU, Mankato. The last bus will leave from the civic center at 7:20 am. All runners are either required to take the bus from the US Bank parking lot next to the Verizon Wireless Center to the start line at the MSU lots or get a ride to the start. No busses will return you to the start after the race. The START line for all races (Marathon, Half, Relay and 10K) is located in the parking lots of the MSU Mankato Campus. The parking lots are located on the southwest corner of Stadium Road and Monks Avenue. If you are dropping your runner off, please remember that you will be able to park in these lots onthe north half, but not on the south half. The actua START line is in the middle of these lots! Please DO NOT park on Stadium Road from Monks Avenue to Warren Street or on Warren Street south of Stadium Road. If you are a runner, DO NOT come along and park. There WON’T be busses at the finish to take you back to these parking lots. If you don’t have a ride, please park in the ramps by the Verizon Wireless Center and take the busses to the START line.
Parking at Verizon Wireless Center There is plenty of parking in the City Center that is around and within walking distance of the Verizon Wireless Center and Pasta Feed restaurants including the parking ramps and on-street parking. Many businesses have generously made their parking lots available for event parking on either Friday after 6:00 pm or Saturday or both days of the event. Unfortunately we were not able to finalize the map before production of this guide. Please find the map on the website www.mankatomarathon.com for a quick reference of parking lots available to you as a runner or spectator.

Lost and Found Lost something? Or you found something that doesn’t belong to you? Please check with the friendly people at the Bag Drop to inquire about a lot item or turn in an item you have found.
Bag Drop There will be a place by the START line to drop your clothes and gear prior to the race. All items will be moved to the Post race area and be placed in a location that only participants are allowed. You may pick up your gear after the race but you must show your race number to the staff prior to getting your gear back. We ask that no valuable or fragile items be left in your gear. This drop area is for gear only and there is no guarantee on your items.
“If you run, you are a runner. It doesn’t matter how fast or how far. It doesn’t matter if today is your first day or if you’ve been running for twenty years. There is no test to pass, no license to earn, no membership card to get. You just run.” - John Bingham MankatoMarathon.com • 25

Mankato Marathon Print The selection of the inaugural Mankato Marathon print was a competitive one with several entries. Barbara Bjelland’s print concept was ultimately chosen. Barbara is a local fine artist and graphic designer for print and web. Her fine artwork includes figurative work (people and animals), architectural paintings, landscapes, commissions and illustration. Her concept was chosen because of its reflection on both the significance of the event (Marathon) and the location (Mankato). In Barbara’s words…”The two running figures represent the event. The Mankato Courthouse and clock tower represent the event as well as the location, since the concept of time is vital in a marathon. The clock tower displays a time of twenty-five minutes past ten, when the first marathoners are about to finish the race. The concept also features the location. The Mankato landscape includes historic architecture, trees that boast the glowing colors of fall, and the businesses along Front Street where the race will end. The distant river and bluffs are a focal point below the FINISH line gantry at street’s end. The birds in the upper right of the picture mirror the runners below, suggesting the feeling of freedom that many runners experience.” The print is for sale along with the Mankato Marathon merchandise. Winners of the races will each receive a complimentary print.
Photography Sport PiX, a division of Quality 1 Hr Foto, is Minnesota’s premier event photographers, specializing in sports of all kinds. They have partnered with the Mankato Marathon to shooting photos of the inaugural event from land and air from start to finish. Look for their booth at the Post Race Area to get an official Mankato Marathon photo of you with a Mankato Marathon backdrop. They will be providing specialty products during and after the event online. You can find more information about them and where to order your photos at www.spxsports.com. There will also be a link to their site on the Mankato Marathon website at www.mankatomarathon.com.

Race Goodies Each finishing marathon participant will receive a high quality technical t-shirt. Shirts for the marathoners are special since they will have a special design with the words FINISHER on them. All marathoners must finish the event to get a shirt. Shirts will be given to marathoners at the end of the run. (Participants in the Half Marathon and 10K will also receive a t-shirt.) Each marathon and half marathon participant will also receive a medal when they cross the finish line. Participants in all events will receive a race goodie bag with valuable coupons and samples of great products. They and their families will be able to visit the Expo and see all the vendor booths and listen to the speakers at the event. Post race will offer all participants a secure area after the event to relax, drink and fill your stomach on great post race food and drinks!!
“Racing teaches us to challenge ourselves. It teaches us to push beyond where we thought we could go. It helps us to find out what we are made of. This is what we do. This is what it’s all about.” - PattiSue Plumer, U.S. Olympian
