RACE ETIQUETTE

RACE BECAUSEYOU LOVE IT.JOIN BECAUSEYOU CARE.

Join now! SavetheChildren.org/TeamSaveTeam Save the Children offers athletes of all abilities a chance to join us in a race while raising much-needed funds to help children.

ANNOUNCEMENTS. Please listen to announcements at the start, on course and at the finish line. We ask that you pay close attention and follow instructions so that we can maximize your positive experience and keep you safe on race day. This includes doing your part to read your participant instructions and website so that you don’t overwhelm staff and volunteers.

GEAR CHECK. This may sound petty but please leave your keys and other rattling items at home or check them in with your clear gear check bag. Runners around you want to hear the sounds of Miami not the clanking of your keys in your pocket.

KNOCK, KNOCK. The portable restrooms are all around the start and course but of course there aren’t 20,000 of them so you may have to wait a bit. Two things to do when using the facilities is to knock before you swing the door open, sometimes the runners are a bit nervous and they forget to lock. The second thing is to do your best to treat the facility like it is your bathroom at home because others have to use it after you.

LET THE FAST LINE UP UP FRONT. We assign your bibs according to your submitted estimated finish time, don’t harass the security and volunteers to line up in front of runners that are faster than you. If you want to run with a friend you can drop back to the slower corrals not the other way around. Race officials will be spot checking corrals, don’t be that person that gets asked to go back to your corral because you snuck into the wrong one.

FAST PASS LEFT. Run like we drive in the US, the fast lane is on the left side of the road. On the race course make sure you run to the right and pass on the left. A lighthearted

shout to the runners ahead of you indicating you’ll be passing is appreciated. Keep in mind that not everyone speaks English because we have so many runners coming from outside of Miami… so be patient.

SAY NO TO DANCING LINES. Please run with only one friend at a time. Pack running is fine but we ask that you not run or walk more than two runners abreast. Chit chat along the way is good but don’t forget this is a race!

NO TEXTING AND RUNNING. We know that runners are great multi-taskers but running and texting shouldn’t be practiced on race day. We know you’ll be snapping pics and taking selfies but don’t stop in the middle of the road to post to your Instagram story. Move over to the side of there road out of the way to upload your shots if you can’t wait until the finish line.

KEEP THE VOLUME LOW. If you choose to wear headphones we ask that you wear only one side and keep the volume down. We ask this for your safety and for the safety of others around you. Not to mention we have music and spectators out there!

GRAB & GO! When you pass those water and Gatorade stations don’t stop to chat nor come to a walk if you were running. Squeeze that cup and hold it to your mouth and drink away while you move forward. If you must stop don’t do it right in front of the tables, do it after you passed the volunteers and slide over out of the lane of runners. We ask that you do the same at the finish line, keep walking all way through the chute. And by the way you don’t have to lunge for the first table, that area is usually the most crowded so keep moving to the later tables. Most stations should have Gatorade first

and water second but sometimes volunteers switch things up on us in the midst of the excitement and busy time.

KEEP MIAMI CLEAN. The streets, sidewalks and neighborhoods are some of the most beautiful in the country don’t litter them with the cups and gel packets. Take your trash and throw it away at the aid stations. Many of us like to carry our cups for a while, just fold it up and hold onto them when you are done so you can toss it when you encounter the next station. And be kind to Biscayne Bay, you’ll be running alongside almost 6 miles of it so definitely don’t throw anything on the ground in that area that the wind might pick up and blow into the water.

IT’S YOUR RACE BUT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF OTHERS DOING IT TOO. We love that you have friends and family cheering you on but we ask that you keep them as spectators and not drag them through the final stretch of the race. We have bandit catchers ready to pull folks off for doing this. It is a safety hazard to pull others from the crowd to run in down the final hundred meters along Biscayne Boulevard. If the way to run in with you so bad, have them sign up and train with you. It’s your moment and thousands of other registrants around you as well we don’t want to ruin it by having them trip on one of your loved ones. If you know of someone that is planning on banditting (running without registering) the race, tell them they should consider registering because we will have spotters and police along the route to pull unregistered runners off. This is for your safety and theirs.

BE INSPIRING. Some might be running their first race so they can use all the positive words of encouragement out there. Don’t be afraid to say hi and maybe even strike up a conversation. We know some of the best friendships have started at races. We know this is a race but runners are generally quite the friendly competitors so if you are passing someone a thumbs up or a simple ‘Let’s go’ can inspire someone to push through that next mile. Don’t just pass people quietly, the race is long they might be passing you later on and you might need their words to get to that line. Congratulate and hug those around you when you cross that line and most definitely say something if you see someone wearing their spinning Miami Marathon medal out and about town post race. #It’sNotMiamiWithoutYou

KIDS CAN RUN A MARATHON TOO!Fitbit Kids Run Miami is a privately-funded, county-wide program that invites all middle schools in Miami-Dade County to

establish a consistent running program as part of their physical education daily lesson plans.

The program’s goal is to offer every child enrolled in Miami-Dade County Middle Schools an opportunity to run their first

marathon (26.2 miles), and in doing so, promote a fit and healthy lifestyle while teaching children to create and fulfill goals.

Participating schools and teachers have encouraged over 3,000 students to run 25 miles over 15 weeks with the final
