#RNRSTL

RunRocknRoll.com 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.

Welcome Letter

Welcome to the rungevity Rock ‘n’ Roll St. Louis Marathon & ½ Marathon presented by the Quinn Family Foundation. We formed rungevity as a community of runners that have raised more than $2.5 million to support local charities, making a lasting positive impact in the lives of others. This weekend will be a three-day party with big-name concerts, race-day VIP tent and more. We are part of something bigger. rungevity is a call to action. It’s a call to make a difference. As a parent, an avid runner and Boston finisher, the spirit of the running community has never failed to amaze me. Seeing the strength in our community- the strength in runners- has inspired the Quinn Family Foundation’s next mission. With the formation of our endurance fundraising initiative, rungevity©, we are proud to be part of keeping the spirit alive. This unique program goes beyond miles on a road to provide a turnkey fundraising opportunity for organizations, like TASK and the Ranken Jordan Pediatric Bridge Hospital, while also offering a world-class, VIP running experience for runners. Visit www.rungevity.org to learn more about how you can show your strength. We wish you the best as you take on this weekend’s 5k, relay, half, or full marathon. My family and the families of the charity partners of rungevity will be there on race day cheering for you. See you at the finish line. Sincerely,

Jeff Quinn Founder, Quinn Family Foundation 4

Headliner

SUNDAY HEADLINER CONCERT PRESENTED BY

FEATURING BIG DATA Big Data is a paranoid electronic music project from the Internet, formed out of a general distrust for technology and The Cloud (despite a growing dependence on them). Helmed by producer, Alan Wilkis, Big Data aims to explore the relationship between man and machine, and how the internet has reshaped the human experience. Saturday Headliner Concert and Sunday Opening Act featuring Honey & the 45s

The band was formed in Chicago in October 2009, as an acoustic group, by core members, lead singer, songwriter and guitarist, Kristina Cottone, and singer, violinist and saxophonist, Kim Kozel. Since then, Honey & the 45s unique sound has evolved by adding bassist Sean Tatum, lead guitarist Jon Gould, and drummer Jarad Kleinstein. Dubbed “The Band of Chicago” by Nanobot Rock Reviews, Honey & the 45s draws from jazz and blues roots, but delivers a new soulful rock sound with powerful vocals and musical grooves.

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… 32
