Each corral will be designated by a letter (A, B, C or D), which will correspond to a letter on each athlete’s bib.

Participants are highly encouraged to review the start line map on page 21 and arrive early to make sure they have time to find their corral. Athletes will only be permitted into the corral that corresponds with the letter on their bib. Once in their assigned corral, athletes should line up by pace according to the signs posted in the corral. Athletes that wish to participate with other athletes that are friends and/or training partners may do so.

MARATHON RELAY INFORMATION

The Williams Route 66 Marathon Relay is a five-leg relay event. The Marathon Relay will follow the same course as the Marathon. One runner can run more than one consecutive leg of the relay. However, each relay team must have between three and five participants. Mixed teams must have at least two female participants. All members of a team must be 40 or older for the Masters division.

RELAY EXCHANGE ZONES The Relay exchange zones will be clearly delineated with cones and fencing. As runners approach the relay exchange zones, relay runners will be directed to the right side of the course and Marathon and Half-Marathon runners will be directed to keep left.

RELAY TEAM MEMBERS MUST KEEP THE EXCHANGE ZONES AND THE MARATHON COURSE CLEAR. IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO CROSS THE COURSE TO GET TO EXCHANGE ZONES 1 AND 3. RELAY PARTICIPANTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR GETTING ACROSS THE STREET SAFELY AND FOR CROSSING THE COURSE WITHOUT INTERFERING WITH ANY OTHER PARTICIPANTS. COURSE MARSHALS WILL BE THERE TO HELP GUIDE YOU ACROSS THE COURSE. PLEASE BE CAREFUL OF THE TRAFFIC AND CONSIDERATE OF OTHER RUNNERS.

MARATHON RELAY EXCHANGE ZONES – WHILE YOU’RE THERE Be aware of the conditions and dress appropriately for the wait. There will not be much in the way of shelter at the exchange zones. Water and portable restrooms will be available near each exchange zone. It would be a good idea to have a clothing bag for each exchange zone, so that the runner just finishing will have some warm, dry clothes when he/she is done running. The runner starting out on the new leg can leave his/her clothes in the bag for the teammate to take back to the start. However you work out the logistics, you are responsible for your own gear! Don’t leave it on the bus and don’t expect the volunteers to be able to take care of it for you.

MARATHON RELAY NUMBERS AND TIMING TAG Your MYLAPS timing device is attached to your team’s relay race bib which is attached to an elastic belt. You should wear the belt while running your leg of the relay and give it to your team member to wear when you reach the relay exchange point.

Please note the following: Do not remove the tag from the bib. Wear the bib number visibly on your chest / torso. Do not fold or crumple the bib. Do not remove the foam spacer. The bib and tag are yours to keep. No need to return them. Be sure to cross all timing mats during the race.

RELAY SHUTTLES

The Marathon Relay shuttle buses will leave approximately every 30 minutes as needed. You should arrive at the Guthrie Green Shuttle Hub at least one hour before you expect to start running your leg of the relay. You are responsible for getting to the exchange zone on time. The timing of the Relay shuttle service is not guaranteed.

RELAY SHUTTLES ARE FOR PARTICIPANTS ONLY. SPECTATORS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED ON THE SHUTTLES. Shuttle buses will be provided from the Guthrie Green Shuttle Hub near the intersection of Boston Avenue and Archer Street to the relay exchanges zones. You must be wearing a Marathon Relay race number to board the bus. Spectators are not allowed on the Marathon Relay shuttle buses. You cannot ride the shuttle from one exchange point to another.

RACE-DAY CANCELLATION, RACE ALTERATION POLICY AND WEATHER POLICY It is the primary goal of the Williams Route 66 Marathon to provide and ensure a safe event for participants, volunteers and community attendees alike. We will be diligent in not exposing the participants, the volunteers or the community at large to any undue risk in the production and/ or execution of the event. We understand the commitment the participants have made in entering the race, however, the decisions regarding race cancellations and/ or alterations will be based on the larger community safety as well as the participants. Moreover, if community resources are threatened, we will act to protect them from unnecessary stress.

When weather conditions or other physical conditions present a danger to the participants as a whole, the Williams Route 66 Marathon officials maintain the right to cancel the race. Less threatening conditions could cause alteration of the race and/or the race course or length of the race to further ensure participant, volunteer and community safety. The conditions fall under an “Act of God” – and will not result in refunding of any race entry fee or future race credits. The staging of an event of this magnitude places large financial burden on the Williams Route 66 Marathon organization prior to the event date. Thus, in

the event of a forced race cancellation or alteration, it is probable that the financial impact on the race would not be any different than if the race was held without compromise. The Williams Route 66 Marathon officials, along with City of Tulsa officials, will make decisions regarding the cancellation or alteration of the race. Prior to the race, the Williams Route 66 Marathon officials will apprise the participants of the weather conditions and how the on-course flag system designation works. Williams Route 66 Marathon officials will describe any changes that may be decided as a result of weather or other unsafe conditions. In the case of a course evacuation, Williams Route 66 Marathon officials and Tulsa Police and other City of Tulsa officials will communicate throughout the race course to direct participants to safe shelters to await transportation back to the start and/or finish area.

WEATHER In regard to weather specifically, the Williams Route 66 Marathon has adopted the WBGT (Wet-Bulb Globe Temperature) index as its standard. High heat and humidity, as measured in accordance with the American College of Sports Medicine recommendations for participation in endurance events, could result in cancellation of the event. WBGT is considered “the most practical heat

RACE-DAY CANCELLATION, RACE ALTERATION POLICY AND WEATHER POLICY, CONTINUED stress index characterizing the effect of a heat stress environment on the individual.” WBGT was developed because the drybulb temperature alone does not provide a realistic guide to the effects of heat, inasmuch as it does not take humidity and heat radiation into consideration. WBGT is so-called because two of its input variables are wet-bulb temperature and a “black-globe” temperature; the third variable is the shielded dry-bulb temperature. The result of the WBGT will be indicated on a flag system that will be displayed at the start and finish area as well as at the medical stations along the race course. The flag color will indicate the safety conditions based on the WBGT readings. They are listed in the table below. At the starting line there will be a banner over the street. Suspended from that banner will be two flags, each 2'x3'. The flag color will reflect the heat stress at that moment. Medical aid tents will be stationed along the course. Each medical aid station will be flying a flag of a color corresponding to the heat stress at that time. The flag colors will change within 15 minutes of a change in the heat stress level. The staff at the aid station will know the meaning of each color flag.

Extreme conditions that are high risk already place a burden on community health care systems, including emergency medical transportation, as well as hospital emergency room capacity. Williams Route 66 Marathon officials will not knowingly place the community in any such position that will place burden on overall community safety. The Williams Route 66 Marathon asserts that each participant assumes responsibility when entering an event with the potential risks that a marathon presents. All runners should be discerning of their own fitness level in their decision to enter the Marathon and associated events. Furthermore, it strongly advises all participants to cooperate with directives given by Williams Route 66 Marathon officials and to assist in ensuring the safety of their fellow participants, particularly when conditions are less than ideal. As the WBGT lowers in cold weather and EAS alerts go to yellow and/or red, it is strongly recommended that all runners slow their pace and reduce their risk of hypothermia when conditions warrant.

SUSTAINABILITY Much of the joy of running and walking is soaking in the natural beauty that surrounds us as we experience the seasons change, we hear the birds sing and we take time to appreciate the fresh air that fills our lungs. The Williams Route 66 Marathon works to protect these natural assets so future generations may also experience the same exhilarating feelings for many years to come. Thanks to the combined efforts of the board of directors, many community partners, environmentally minded race participants and fans, the Williams Route 66 Marathon has been recognized by ReSport for our sustainability efforts. This important designation is awarded by the Council for Responsible Sport and shows the Marathon’s continued commitment to preserving Tulsa’s natural beauty and resources while putting on a world-class endurance event.

RACE PARTICIPANTS AND FANS ARE ENCOURAGED TO DO THE FOLLOWING: ◆◆

Donate your used running shoes.

◆◆

Carpool or ride your bike on race day.

◆◆

Use your own water bottle on the course.

◆◆

Watch for recycling stations and use them.

◆◆

Throw cups and used gel packs in bins along the course – please don’t litter.

The Marathon team challenges itself to look for new ways to lessen the environmental impact of all race weekend activities. We encourage participants and fans to join us in this endeavor. Sustainability is a group effort and each of us can play an important role in making the Williams Route 66 Marathon a more environmentally friendly event.

BEST PLACES TO WATCH Everyone can be a part of the race-day excitement by choosing the perfect spot along the course to cheer for their favorite racer. And, since nothing gives racers a bigger energy boost than being cheered on along the way, you’ll want to figure out the best place(s) to spot your runner. With the finish line located at Guthrie Green in The Brady Arts District, fans will enjoy lining the District’s streets from First Street, through the Center of the Universe Detour, along Archer Street near Boulder Avenue to Cameron Street to see racers approach the finish line. This year’s finish line party at Guthrie Green, presented by the University of Tulsa, will be one for the ages. Post-race festivities will include great music from the Guthrie Green stage, food offerings from Tulsa’s tastiest food trucks, a car show, as well as plenty of other sights and sounds for all ages that include the broad range of Brady Arts District businesses that will be open and ready to serve racers and fans. For those looking to get out on the course to cheer, options abound for grabbing a cup of coffee, a bite to eat, or even a festive beverage while you settle in for a great day of road racing. Suggested cheering locations along the various courses are below. Please make note of street closures. We encourage fans to be respectful of area businesses and residents when choosing parking spaces and cheering locations.

ON THE MARATHON AND HALF-MARATHON COURSE: You can feel the electricity in the air as racers gather before the starting gun. Hear the national anthem and the see the confetti fly as participants begin their journey at the start line at Seventh and Main Streets.

Love fall foliage? Cheer on your participant at Cascia Hall Preparatory School, near 25th Street and Yorktown and Utica Avenues, or Woodward Park at 21st Street and Peoria Avenue, for a truly beautiful fall racing experience. A perennial favorite among locals and visitors is Tulsa’s Brookside area located on Peoria Avenue between 33rd and 39th Streets. There are plenty of restaurants, coffee shops and the like to ply you with whatever you need to get your pipes warmed up to cheer for your participant.

ON THE MARATHON COURSE (MILES 13–25.5): If a little weekend brunch with a super-hip vibe to match is what you’re looking for, you’re in luck with several excellent spots to choose from. Come to Tulsa’s Blue Dome District on First and Second Streets between Detroit and Frankfort Avenues, the East Village, located near Lansing & Kenosha between Second & Sixth Streets, the burgeoning Pearl District, near Sixth and Peoria Avenue, or the always popular Cherry Street area on 15th Street between Peoria and Utica Avenues, to spot your marathoner and take in the day with a tasty bite, great drink options and swanky environs to keep your day party rolling. The University of Tulsa, especially ‘The U’, located near 11th Street and Tucker Drive, is another favorite cheering location offering fans ample parking and excellent vantage points to spot their favorite marathoners as they hit the all-important 20-mile mark and head toward the finish line. To check out all spectator location options, the complete course maps are provided for your reference in this publication as well as on our website at route66marathon.com.

NEWFOUND balance. For years, Williams employee Diane struggled to manage her health and her busy schedule. “I considered myself a workaholic,” Diane says. “I was constantly stressed. I signed up for all kinds of fitness programs to help relieve some stress, but ended up being more stressed.” In 2011 she decided to take control. Diane has taken great strides to improve her well-being. To date, she’s completed seven half marathons, including the Williams Route 66 half marathon, and the Tulsa Run. She’s ready to jump back on the Williams Route 66 half marathon course and hopes to beat her previous race time. Best of luck to Diane and all participants in the Williams Route 66 events. We look forward to cheering you on.

We make energy happen.®
