2014 Rock'n'Roll Seattle Marathon & 1/2 Event Guide by Rock 'n' Roll Marathon Series

EVENT GUIDE JUNE 21, 2014

#RNRSEA

Welcome to the one marathon you won’t want to end. A race so rock ‘n’ roll, the mile markers are rock bands. Because what’s the point of running if you just want it to end? Here, you might not break the tape, but the podium isn’t the point. Life is a journey and running should be a celebration.

ROCK ‘N’ ROLL SEATTLE MARATHON & ½

SEATTLE GREAT WHEEL

The Seattle Great Wheel, opened in June 2012, sits on Pier 57 over Elliott Bay near Pike Place Market and the Seattle Aquarium. Weighing in at 280,300 pounds and standing 175 feet tall, it is the tallest observation wheel on the West Coast and boasts 42 enclosed, air conditioned gondolas that each carry up to eight passengers. The Seattle Great Wheel offers a fantastic and unparalleled view of the city, sound and mountains. We recommend that tickets, which run $13 each for passengers 12 and over and $8.50 apiece for those 4 – 11, be purchased in advance online.

SEATTLE CENTER

The Space Needle may be the most well-known resident of Seattle Center, but there is plenty more to do following that elevator ride to the 520-foot-high observation deck. Explore EMP Museum, a 140,000 square foot building dedicated to popular culture and founded by Microsoft’s Paul Allen, or visit Chihuly Garden and Glass. Bringing the little ones along? They will love the interactive and hands-on exhibits at the Pacific Science Center.

CHINATOWN INTERNATIONAL DISTRICT Emerging in the 1880s, the Chinatown Interna-

tional District is the center for Seattle’s ethnic and cultural diversity. Now commonly known as the International District or I.D., it’s packed with restaurants and shops and home to the Wing Luke Museum that chronicles the life and times of Pacific and Asian Americans in the area. This pedestrian-friendly historic district also has the best dim sum in the city.

WET YOUR WHISTLE

Three-fourths of the nation’s hops are produced in the nearby Yakima Valley, so it should come as no surprise that Seattle boasts one of the country’s largest concentra-

tions of breweries. Many of the area’s 46 breweries offer tours of their operations and tasting rooms. Not a beer lover? The Woodinville wine area is only about 25 minutes northeast of Seattle.

WASHINGTON STATE FERRIES

Any visit to Seattle that does not include a ferry trip is one that left out a real experience. Ferries shuttle all around Puget Sound and they are a key, and the prettiest, part of Washington’s transportation system. They offer a fun, quick and cheap sightseeing boat ride, even providing a glimpse of the 14,410-foot Mount Rainier on a clear day. JUNE 21, 2014

Headliner 1

HEADLINER:

THE PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA The Presidents of the United States of America were one of the most unlikely success stories of the post-grunge alternative rock scene in Seattle. While most other bands went heavy, the Presidents chose humor, writing short, simple and absurd punk songs that relied on goofy attitude. It was a formula that worked, as the group’s self-titled debut album became a double-platinum record to the surprise of many critics, music industry insiders and the band itself. 22

Childhood friends Chris Ballew and Dave Dederer played in a number of groups and projects before joining forces around 1990. The duo recorded a demo tape, which began circulating around the Seattle music community and earned them a cult following. Drummer Jason Finn joined the band in 1993, and, within a year of that addition, the Presidents became one of the most popular bands in Seattle. In the spring of 1994, they released their selftitled debut album on PopLlama Records. ®

ROCK ‘N’ ROLL SEATTLE MARATHON & ½

The record became an independent hit, and the band attracted the attention of major record labels, including Columbia Records, who re-released the Presidents’ debut in the spring of 1995. The Presidents of the United States of America became a hit in the summer of 1995, when MTV and radio began airing “Lump” frequently. “Lump,” followed by the radio hit “Kitty” and the radio/ video hit “Peaches” in the spring of 1996, propelled the album to number six on the

Billboard 200 and RIAA triple platinum status. The band quickly capitalized on their sudden success by releasing their second album, The Presidents of the United States of America: II, in November of 1996. Since then, the band has called it quits, reconvened, lost Dederer, added “guitbassist” and vocalist Andrew McKeag, released four more studio albums and played a ton of live shows, including this one as the headliner of Rock ‘n’ Roll Seattle!

Headliner 2

SIR MIX-A-LOT Born Anthony Ray in Seattle in 1963, Sir Mix-A-Lot was an eclectic music fan, but a rabid hip-hop devotee. He was already actively rapping in the early ’80s, and co-founded the Nastymix record label in 1983 with DJ Nasty Nes. His first single, released in 1987, was “Posse on Broadway, “ which became a local hit and paved the way for his first LP in 1988, Swass. Swass featured the popular novelty “Square Dance Rap” and a RunD.M.C.-style cover of Black Sabbath’s “Iron Man” with backing by Seattle thrashers Metal Church. The video for

“Posse on Broadway” landed some airplay on MTV and became Sir Mix-A-Lot’s first national chart single in late 1988. Its success pushed Swass into the Top 20 of the R&B album charts, and, by 1989, it had sold over a million copies. Also in 1989, Sir Mix-ALot released his second album Seminar, which produced charting singles in “Beepers,” “My Hooptie,” and “I Got Game.” While none were significant crossover hits with pop or R&B audiences, all three performed well on the rap singles chart and helped Seminar become

Sir Mix-A-Lot’s second straight platinum album. Despite all of this early success, it took signing with Rick Rubin’s Def American label to carry him into the mainstream. He debuted for Def American with 1992’s Mack Daddy, whose first single, “One Time’s Got No Case,” was a critique of racial profiling by police. It went virtually unheard, but the follow-up, “Baby Got Back,” became a pop phenomenon from the moment MTV aired its provocative video. “Baby Got Back” spent five weeks

atop the pop charts, selling over two million copies. It also pushed Mack Daddy into the top ten, went on to win a Grammy for Best Rap Solo Performance and was ranked the second biggest single of the year by Billboard magazine. Perceived as a one-hit novelty, Sir Mix-ALot found it difficult to follow his breakout success, but kept on recording and even toured as part of a raprock supergroup called Subset, a collaboration with fellow Rock ‘n’ Roll Seattle headliners The Presidents of the United States of America.

WEAR BLUE

The Rock ‘n’ Roll Seattle Marathon & 1/2 Marathon is a significant annual event for wear blue: run to remember, whose runners have participated in the race since 2010. Each June, members of the wear blue community return to Seattle from across the globe to honor the fallen, the fighting and the families by running themselves or supporting participants at the wear blue Mile. A living memorial, the wear blue Mile is a moving on course tribute comprised of handheld American ﬂags and Faces of the Fallen posters in honor of those who gave their all for this country.

ROCK ‘N’ ROLL SEATTLE MARATHON & ½

wear blue: run to remember is a national nonprofit running community that serves to honor the service and sacrifice of the American military. wear blue creates a support network, bridges the gap between military and civilian communities and creates a living memorial for our country’s fallen military members. Rock ‘n’ Roll Seattle could not possibly be more proud to work with and support wear blue.

Respect the Distance

RX TO ROCK

ADVICE FROM THE ROCK ‘N’ ROLL MEDICAL DIRECTOR, P.Z. PEARCE, M.D.

For many of you, this will be your first marathon or half marathon. Whether this is your first or fiftieth race, congratulations on your commitment to fitness and a healthy lifestyle! Whether you choose to run, walk or just rock, the following tips will help to ensure you have a fun and safe Rock ‘n’ Roll experience.

TRAIN

HYDRATE

SALT

PLEASE

It’s too late to start now, but you need to respect the distance you’ve chosen to walk or run. There are many different training programs available to you. Be sure you chose one that had you complete at least 2/3 of the race distance several times during your training period. If not, slow down and participate at a comfortable pace.

If you have not calculated your ﬂuid needs for this race, there are two strategies which will ensure you don’t under or over-hydrate. The easiest is to only drink when you are thirsty. If you want to be a little more scientific, limit ﬂuid intake to 4-8 oz of sports drink every 20 minutes.

Losing salt through sweating and complex hormone changes during exercise can result in lowering your serum [blood] sodium level. This will not only affect your performance, it may lead to muscle cramping, headache, dizziness and confusion. Have some sports drink along the course to quench your thirst, or follow your pre-planned schedule.

Fill out the medical information section on the back of your bib number. While serious medical problems are quite rare, knowing any medical problems you have, medications you are taking or allergies to medications is extremely helpful to our Medical Volunteers. Our goal is to treat all of our athletes like Rock Stars.

If you have questions, stop by the Rock ‘n’ Roll Sports Medicine Team booth at the Expo or visit one of our Medical Tents on race day. We would be happy to assist you. Have fun, be smart, and stay within your limits. In other words, Rock On… 30

Race Day Checklist

The final two days before a race are very important. Follow this checklist to ensure that you get the most out of the hard training you’ve done.

—By Matt Fitzgerald

48:00 | DO A SHORT, FAST WORKOUT

For example, run three miles easy, then run 6 x 30-second relaxed sprints.

47:00 | START CARBO-LOADING

Be sure to consume high-carb foods and beverages at every meal.

31:00 | GET A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP

Getting adequate sleep is critical the final days before a big race.

22:00 | DO A SHORT, EASY WORKOUT It relieves mental and physical tension and keeps the body primed for performance.

21:00-10:00 | KEEP CARBO-LOADING

Maintain your high-carb diet throughout the last day before you race. Choose familiar foods that have always worked well for your body in the past. Now is not the time to experiment.

20:00 | GET YOUR GEAR TOGETHER

Take some time to get all of your gear together; create a race gear checklist that you use for every race. 34

ROCK ‘N’ ROLL SEATTLE MARATHON & ½

18:00 | PLAN FOR RACE MORNING

Make a concrete plan for race morning that includes a wake-up time and a route to the race venue

3:00 | WAKE UP EARLY

Set an early alarm to give your body plenty of time to get up to speed. Try to climb out of bed at least three hours before the start horn blasts.

2:45 | EAT YOUR PRE-RACE MEAL

It is important to wake up in plenty of time to consume and digest a high-carb pre-race breakfast three hours before your race start.

2:15 | MAKE SURE YOUR GEAR IS READY Go through your gear checklist one last time. Be sure not to forget the small essentials such as sunscreen and your race number.

0:30 | WARM UP THOROUGHLY

Start your warm-up about half an hour before your race start. Begin with easy jogging, then do some dynamic stretches such as walking lunges and arm circles.

Running Trails

RUN LIKE A LOCAL

Whether you are looking for a weekend warm-up jog, a challenging workout or a great way to take advantage of Seattle’s beautiful scenery, here are a few routes we recommend!

GREEN LAKE PARK

Nestled north of downtown and surrounded by many of the city’s top specialty running stores, bike shops and gyms, Green Lake Park is a popular destination for the active-minded. The 259-acre lake is completely surrounded by a newly reconstructed 2.8-mile crushed granite trail, perfect for a scenic, easy-going run.

DISCOVERY PARK

Discovery Park, a former military base overlooking Puget Sound, is a 534-acre park perched on the bluffs of the Magnolia area of Seattle. Featuring 11.81 miles worth of woodland trails, sandy beaches, meadows, tide pools and spectacular views of the Olympic Mountains and Mount Rainier, it is the most outdoors you can soak up without leaving Seattle proper.

BURKE-GILMAN TRAIL

Seattle’s classic trail, the Burke-Gilman Trail stretches between Golden 38

ROCK ‘N’ ROLL SEATTLE MARATHON & ½

Gardens Park and Kenmore. Started as one of the first urban rail trail projects in the country, it is currently one of the most heavily used pedestrian and bicycling facilities in Seattle. With spectacular Puget Sound, neighborhood and campus views, the Burke-Gilman Trail offers a bit of it all.

ISSAQUAH ALPS

Venture a dozen miles east of downtown Seattle on I-90 and you will run into the Issaquah Alps. The Alps, an unofficial name for these highlands, include Cougar, Squak, Taylor, Rattlesnake and Tiger Mountains. The densely forested Tiger Mountain is Seattle’s most popular destination for trail running. Travel to the summit of West Tiger 3, a 5.2 mile loop with an elevation gain of 2,000 feet, for an incredible view of Seattle.

JOIN THE RACE CREW! 18,000 + PARTICIPANTS = 1500 VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

More feet in the streets require more helping hands from the fans. If your friends or family are coming out to watch you run or walk, tell them to support you and join the Race Crew! Volunteer opportunities are available Wednesday through Saturday of race week; both individuals and groups of all sizes are needed. For more information, visit runrocknroll.competitor.com/seattle/ volunteer or stop by Volunteer Check In at the Health & Fitness Expo during race weekend for information on available shifts.
