WELCOME RUNNERS FROM THE RACE DIRECTORS Welcome! We are thrilled you are joining us for the inaugural running of the Good Life Halfsy presented by Bulu Box! In January 2014, we asked the question, “What the @?$% is a Halfsy?” Finally, on November 9th at 9:00 am, over 3,000 runners and your wildest fans will truly experience it! We hope that the Good Life Halfsy is more than just a half marathon and that it becomes a new a fun-filled November weekend tradition for years to come. Please read this guide carefully. We have a ton of fun in store for you! There are so many people and groups to thank who have helped to make this new race possible. First, we’d like to thank the officials and citizens of Lincoln for hosting and supporting the Good Life Halfsy. Second, the race is greatly enhanced through our sponsors and partners who generously support the race and active lifestyles in our state and communities. Last, but not least, a huge thank you goes out to the hundreds of volunteers who will bring the race to life this weekend. Many are volunteering in support of one of our charity partners, People’s City Mission or Lincoln / Lancaster County Habitat for Humanity. Be sure to share the included Spectator Guide with family and friends. There are all kinds of Cheer Station and entertainments stops that will make spectating nearly as fun as running! Good luck and thank you for joining us for this unique weekend adventure. We’ll see you in the Railyard at the finish line. Ben Cohoon, Jason Bakewell and the Good Life Halfsy Crew

FROM THE CITY OF LINCOLN Welcome to the latest and greatest happening that’s helping secure Lincoln’s place on the nation’s running map – the Good Life Halfsy, presented by Bulu Box. This half marathon will take runners through some of Lincoln’s most scenic spots, concluding near one of my favorites – the awesome new Pinnacle Bank Arena in the Historic Haymarket! A huge thank you to Ben and Jason for this enhancement to Lincoln’s already outstanding quality of life and the boon to our local economy. I hope you all have a wonderful experience at the inaugural Good Life Halfsy. Be safe and be fast! Chris Beutler, Mayor of Lincoln
FROM BULU BOX Bulu Box was born on the finish line of the San Francisco half marathon. So being the presenting partner of the Good Life Halfsy was an opportunity to return to our roots in a way and give back to the community that’s given us so much. We’re thrilled you’ve joined us today and are filled with pride seeing our city come together for such a fun event. We hope you have a great run and we’ll be cheering along the way! Paul & Stephanie Jarrett Co-founders of Bulu Box

CHARITY PARTNERS The Good Life Halfsy presented by Bulu Box is proud to partner and bring awareness to a couple of Nebraska’s finest charity groups. People’s City Mission and Lincoln / Lancaster County Habitat for Humanity do so much good in our community. We hope you join us in promoting them in their missions through donations, and volunteerism. Both groups have supported Good Life Halfsy runners with hundreds of volunteers. Let’s be sure to return the support! In 2014, nearly 50 runners decided to “Run For Charity” by committing to raise a minimum of $500 for People’s City Mission or Lincoln / Lancaster County Habitat for Humanity. In total, these runners raised over $10,000 for each organization! If you see runners wearing the special blue race bibs, give them a high five and thank them for going the extra mile.

RUNNER SAFETY MEDICAL STATIONS & COURSE MEDICAL RESOURCES Medical Aid Stations are located at all 5 Water Stations along the course and are staffed by paramedics from Midwest Medical Transport Company who can offer assistance as needed. A Medical Tent will be located at the Finish Area inside the Lincoln Station Great Hall just beyond the Athlete Recovery Village and Excel Chiropractic will be on hand to discuss any aches or pains. Lincoln Fire & Rescue will have ambulance and bike medic units along the route and at the finish. A SAG vehicle will be on course that can transport runners to the nearest Medical Aid Station or finish line. Remember to complete the Emergency Contact Information requested on the back side of your race bib. DROPPING OUT OF THE RACE We want all runners to have an amazing running experience at the Halfsy, but we know that sometimes it’s “just not your day.” Listen to your body and do not continue running if you experience symptoms that are not familiar to you. If you are unable to continue or finish the race, ask the nearest race official for assistance or the location of the nearest Medical Aid Station. If you are feeling ill on race morning, consider not starting the race. There’s always next year and your health is more important. FRIENDS & FAMILY MEETING AREA There will not be an official designated meeting area at the Finish Line Area. Be sure to let friends and family know your race bib # and choose a specific landmark or location to meet following the race. Pro tip: Have your friends or family bring any needed dry clothes, ID, phone or desired post-race items rather than using the Race Bag Check. RACE DAY WEATHER CANCELLATION POLICY The Good Life Halfsy will be held in most weather conditions. However, in the event of dangerous or life threatening conditions, there is always the chance the event may be canceled. Race organizers will work closely with Lincoln Police, Lincoln Fire and other city officials to make a decision based on the safety of runners, spectators and the community as a whole. LOST & FOUND Lost & Found on race day will be located inside the Lincoln Station Great Hall on Canopy Street. This is the same area as the Finish Line Medical Tent. After the race, make inquires at Facebook.com/goodlifehalfsy
