There is hardly an easier and faster stretch than the one between Emmersdorf and Krems. Beginners especially appreciate when there is a running event with no hill or mountain. These ideal topographical conditions enable them to more easily achieve their own personal running goals. \nOn the other hand the WACHAUmarathon can offer performance-oriented runners the perfect conditions for a fast race. In this way the Wachau “track” especially promotes personal best performances. \nOVERVIEW\nThe marathon starts in Emmersdorf at 10 a.m. at the same time than the halfmarathon gets started in Sptiz. The marathon route goes upstream from Emmerdorf on the B3 until the small village of Weitenegg\, where the runners will get to the road next to the beautiful danube and turn downstream back to the starting point in Emmersdorf. From there on the route follows the B3 until reaching Krems. In Krems you won’t have to run through the city any more which makes the marathon both: more attractive and faster \nStart in Emmersdorf\nThe starting line is directly next to the roundabout that leads to the bridge over the Danube to Melk. The parking lot in front of Emmerdorf’s sport center is the perfect place to meet before the starting signal. \nBe there and experience the unique flair of the marathon start in Emmersdorf with a view of the Melk Abbey. \nYou have three options for getting to the marathon start in Emmersdorf an der Donau. Bus and trains are included in the entry fee. \nYou should choose a travel option at registration. This will be printed on your bib number with a symbol and the time. \nPlease be aware that the road through the Wachau is closed on the day of the event as of 8:00 and can no longer be driven. \nBaggage Transport\nBaggage transport will be carried out by busses located near the starting area and marked with your event and bib number. \nPlease have your bib number at hand when dropping off and picking up baggage. Baggage may be deposited beginning an hour before the event until at the latest 10 minutes before the start. \nAt the finish line the busses will be located near the conference halls. Please follow the signs. \nWe inform you that only clothing bags distributed by the organizer and marked with name and number will be transported\, We take no responsibility for lost articles\, most especially including clothing sacks and the valuables deposited in them. \nEnergy stations along the route\nCatering during the run is an important element in any runner’s success.

Alternatively\, you can enter the following address into any GPS\, which will take you to the same park entrance: \n972 Route 9W\, Congers\, NY 10920 \nThen\, after entering the park\, make your first right turn towards Parking Field 5. follow the road down for 1 mile (pass Parking Field 6)\, Parking Field 5 will be on your left. Race-Day Central will be between the south end of the parking lot and the lake loop pathway. \nPlease note that the southern entrance off of Route 9W is also at “Lake Road” (we know… it’s totally confusing)\, that’s why we recommend using the link or address above\, then follow the written directions the last mile. \nYou can also click this link for the exact location of the race staging area in Google maps\, however if you are driving from points south of Rockland Lake\, most GPSs will try to take you through the southern park entrance off of Route 9W\, and the road leading to Parking Field 5 from this entrance is CLOSED. That’s why we recommend using the first link (or address)\, then follow the written directions. \nDO NOT type “Rockland Lake State Park” into your GPS\, you’ll end up in the wrong part of the park at the north end of the lake\, 1-1/2 miles away from the race! \nIMPORTANT: you must enter any parking lot inside the park BEFORE 8AM to avoid being charged the $8 NYS Parks imposed vehicle fee.

Run on the vast ice sheet and experience breathtaking polar landscapes in this challenging running event. \nThe Polar Circle Marathon – often referred to as “the Coolest Marathon on Earth” takes place in Kangerlussuaq\, Greenland. The endless ice and arctic tundra of this vast country make up the backdrop of this unusual race in which runners pass glacier tongues\, moraine landscapes and the soundless\, arctic desert. This is a rare opportunity to visit one of the most remote corners of the world\, while daring to take part of an extremely challenging running event. \nA part of the route takes place on the ice cap itself\, but the main part of the course is run on the gravel road (often snow covered) that connects the ice sheet with the small township of Kangerlussuaq\, just north of the Polar Circle. \nRoute description\nThe marathon takes place on uneven gravel road and ice. \nThe run starts about 4km from the ice sheet and follows the gravel road onto the ice sheet itself. While running on the ice sheet one be very attentive and careful\, even with a thick layer of snow on top this part can still be very slippery. Due to the enormous powers of nature and the general retraction of the ice sheet\, the exact distance on the ice will only be found a couple of days before the race\, but a 3km loop is the aim. Because of the danger of falling into a crevasse\, it is strictly forbidden to leave the marked route on the ice sheet. \nComing back up from the ice and passing the starting point you have approximately 32km left to the finish line in Kangerlussuaq. Please bear in mind that although the road is gravel\, it is likely to be covered in a layer of snow. Running these remaining kilometres you will pass enormous glacier tongues and moraine plains and go through tundra and arctic desert. If you are lucky you may also see reindeer and musk oxen grazing along the route. The terrain is hilly all the way with the steepest ascents being the climb coming off the ice sheet and the approximately 75m-high climb 5km before the finish line. From the ice sheet to the finish line\, however\, the route has an overall descent of approximately 500m. \nThe marathon finish line is located in front of Polar Lodge in the northern part of Kangerlussuaq. \nThe half marathon finish line is located at Long Lake\, just before Sanddrift Valley. \nPlease note that the route description is subject to change according to the forces of nature. \nDo not forget that this is first and foremost an adventure. We are far away from comforts of home and this makes it impossible to offer services at the same level usually provided in city marathons. \nRace Info\nIce as far as the eye beholds. Impossibly beautiful\, blue skies. Incredibly fresh air. Musk oxen and arctic foxes on the stark landscape of the arctic tundra. \nYes\, we are in one of the most remote corners of the world: Greenland. Feel the soft crunch of snow beneath your shoes while running through the arctic desert and Greenland ice cap and immerse yourself in this rare and exceptional natural beauty… what more could we ask for? \nThis will undoubtedly be the coolest experience of your life. \nA part of the route takes place on the ice sheet itself\, but the main part of the course is run on the gravel road (often snow covered) that connects the ice sheet with the small township of Kangerlussuaq\, just north of the Polar Circle. \nClothing\nThere are no specific requirements for clothing\, but the medical team and race officials do have the right to stop and take out a runner who’s not dressed properly for the weather\, so we strongly advise that all participants follow the below recommendations and make sure it’s possible to cover all skin. \nLayers are key to a good race and used to keep you as dry and warm as possible and to be prepared for changing weather. It is always better to start out in a layer too much than one too little. Remember: it is easy to cool off if too warm\, but hard to get warm if too cold. \nHow many layers you wear is an individual matter and weather depending\, but a minimum of 3 layers is recommended. \nThere are personal supply stations along the course where you can pick up dry and warm clothing – see “Supplies on route”. Wet and cold items can be dropped at any water station along the course. \nWe do not give specific recommendations on products\, but have named some of the brands available in active polar clothing that we know have a good and well-tested product. \nBase/Inner Layer (sweat transporting layer) \nMust be a functional thinner layer that transports sweat away from your body (called moisture-wicking) and dries fast. Make sure it’s comfortable to wear and doesn’t restrict you in your movements. \nAvoid base layers with zippers that touch the skin. \nCheck out: Peak Perfomance\, Falke\, Craft\, Under Armour\, Icebreaker\, Salomon\, Newline \nMid Layer (insulating layer) \nShould be a loose weave fabric or fleece with additional thermal insulation thicker than your base layer. Again it’s important that it doesn’t restrict your movements\, especially with the outer layer on top. \nThe mid layer should provide warmth and breathability. Again it’s important that moisture is transported to the outside/next layer. Some mid layers even have wind protection\, but this is not a must as you won’t be running without your top layer when windy. \nCheck out: Montane\, Craft\, Icebreaker\, Salomon\, Newline \nTop/Outer Layer (weather-protective layer) \nThe top layer can be divided into two categories: Soft shell and hard shell. Regardless of what you’ll choose wind protection is the most important thing. Water resistance is a plus too in case it snows. \nWhile soft shells are now being manufactured with better wind and water resistancy they’re still not as efficient as a hard shell. The hard shell on the other hand\, does not have the same breathability as the soft shell\, although development of vent zones does allow for more airflow and thus minimize the risk of wet and cold mid- and base layers. \nIn extreme wind conditions starting in both a soft and a hard shell can be advisable\, but it is also very likely that you will soon be too warm and will need to drop one of them. \nCheck out: Montane\, Craft\, North Face\, Peak Performance\, Salomon\, Newline \nRemember: Cotton is your worst enemy when running in an arctic climate. It is a rough material\, which can rub your skin raw. Plus\, you’ll freeze! Do not wear cotton clothing during the Polar Circle Marathon and Half Marathon. Instead\, high-performance clothing will decrease your chances of getting blisters and calluses. \nLegs \nThree layers on your legs are likely to be too much. The top layer on your legs must have wind protection and preferably thermal functionality. A base layer under a winter tight will work if the tight has wind protection. Alternatively a normal winter running tight may work fine as base layer under a pair of windproof running pants. \nRunning without wind protection on your legs may cause frostbite on knees\, thighs and other lower body parts. \nCheck out: Montane\, Craft\, Patagonia\, Salomon\, Newline \nGloves \nAgain\, wind protection is the most essential\, but of course your gloves should be warm too! \nMake sure your gloves aren’t too tight around your hands and fingers – it’s better for airflow between your skin and the fabric. Layers will be an advantage in very windy conditions with inner gloves\, under a warmer and looser pair of outer gloves or mittens. \nHand warmers are an option\, but as we try to leave as little a footprint as possible on our race site we recommend the reusable solutions over the disposable versions. \nExtra gloves can be placed at one or more of the personal supply stations\, as especially the inner gloves tend to be wet. \nCheck out: Montane\, North Face\, Icebreaker\, Salomon\, Newline \nHead and neck \nA winter hat is an absolute must. It should cover your ears too. Some prefer a functional moisture wicking hat while others opt for warmer traditional winter hats. A hat of 100% wool will have both features\, but may be itchy. \nThe neck should be covered with a scarf or a neck tube/buff. It’s important that the scarf/buff can be drawn up over the mouth and nose in case of strong winds. However\, running with your nose and mouth covered for a longer time will cause condensation and make your face more prone to frostbite. \nBalaclavas and buffs with air holes for mouth and nose are available\, but even these will eventually turn in to an ice mask. If windy and necessary to cover your face make sure you actively remove the ice building up on your cover. A spare scarf/buff at the personal supply station is advisable. Star Wars fans may invest in a ColdAvenger. \nThe use of tape on cheek and nose is not recommended. There’s no evidence that this will prevent frostbites\, but it will for sure prevent the medical team from seeing signs of frostbite. \nSunglasses or light ski goggles will be a relief in sunny\, windy and/or snowy conditions. \nFeet \nFor choices of shoes and anti-slip soles\, please see “Shoes”. \nYour feet are the least exposed part of your body as you’ll be constantly moving sending a lot of blood to your feet and toes. We do recommend\, however\, that you wear warm running socks\, alternatively with a thin liner sock underneath. Make sure the sock is high so there’s no open skin gap between sock and tights/pants. A spare pair of socks at the personal supply station is advisable. \nIf the ice sheet is covered in a thick layer of snow gaiters will keep it out of your shoes\, but cheaper solutions like a plastic bags inside your shoe may do the trick. If you’re prone to blisters the plastic bag may cause too much friction. \nChange of clothes: \nHalf marathon runners and marathon runners staying at the Old Camp should pack a small bag with extra clothes to be available at the finish line. Marathon runners at Hotel Kangerlussuaq and Polar Lodge can walk to their rooms and do not need to prepare a change of clothes. \nMake sure you mark all your clothes and items with your name and/or bib number for easy identification. Clothes and items dropped at the water stations during the run will be taken back to the finish area at the end of the race. The race organisers cannot be held responsible for any lost or damaged items left along the route. \nSafety precautions\nA medical team is ready in case of injury or severe exhaustion. A doctor will be present on the ice sheet as long as runners are on it. A doctor will be patrolling the route and a doctor will stand by in the finish area. \nA sweeper will follow behind the last runner throughout the race. On the ice sheet\, a snow mobile is on standby in case of accidents or rapid change in weather. \nA bus will be parked just before the entry/exit to the ice cap\, ready to warm up runners if necessary. \nIn case of strong winds all runners will be stopped before entering and after exiting the ice cap and checked for signs of frostbite. \nRunners who wish to drop out of the marathon should go to the nearest drink station where sleeping bags will be available to keep you warm. Transport to the finish area will be arranged for all runners who leave the race\, but please be aware that waiting time may occur. \nTake extra precaution when running on the ice sheet. Fall injuries on the hard ice could mean your race is over. \nFrostbites are a risk at the Polar Circle Marathon\, but will cause no severe injury if treated correctly and in time. There are 3 degrees of frostbite to describe the duration and depth of the injury: \nFirst degree frostbite signs are sensations of cold and pain and/or the affected skin turning white. First degree frostbite is only a superficial injury and can be treated by anyone\, including yourself\, simply by warming/thawing up the affected part of your body. If it’s not possible to go inside warm hands can thaw the frostbite\, but remember to take off gloves and warm skin to skin. If your fingers are at risk they can be warmed against your stomach or in the armpits.\nAfter thawing first degree frostbite the skin will be slightly red and may still feel “buzzy”\, but as the blood is now streaming back it takes longer time for the same area to get frostbitten again. Eventually all signs of a first degree frostbite will disappear. \nSecond degree frostbite is deeper and develops blisters. If you have blisters anywhere on your body after finishing the race\, don’t assume this is a normal friction blister\, but go see the medical team and get the blister examined for being a possible frostbite. Treatment can be rather painful and last for several weeks. Permanent redness on the affected skin may occur as well as the area developing permanent intolerance to coldness. \nThird degree frostbite is a very deep skin injury causing dead tissue. Instead of extreme white the skin can turn red and purple. A sense of numbness in the area is typical sign of third degree frostbite. Beware\, however\, that a finger with third degree frostbite can still move\, although at reduced function\, so don’t let this fool you to believe the injury is less serious. \nThe sooner frostbite is treated the better the chances of a good recovery so don’t ignore any of the signs above.\nA runner with second or third degree frostbite will not be allowed to continue and/or run the following day if signed up for the Polar Bear Challenge. \nFrostbite is avoided by dressing well – see the Clothing section for more details. \nREMEMBER: It’s important to avoid dehydration\, so make sure you drink at all the water stations! \nYour skin will have more resistance towards cold when the natural skin grease is intact\, so it is recommended not to shower in the morning of the race. As a minimum avoid washing your face with soap. A non-water-based lotion will also give a certain degree of protection if applied a couple of hours before going outside.\nKeep moving your fingers while you run\, clench your fists and make faces every once in a while. \nIf you take daily medicine prescribed by your physician or need any other medication\, please inform the race doctors in advance by writing to marathon@albatros-adventure.com. \nDo not forget to drink water before and during the race. Running in the cold will not make you feel as thirsty as in warmer climates\, but the route is still 42.195/21.097 kilometres long! \nAwards\nAll finishers receive a medal. A small\, symbolic prize is awarded to the top three finishers in each race (marathon\, half marathon and Polar Bear Challenge) in the male and female categories. Please note that there is no prize money. \nTime limits\nThe time limit for half marathon is 4 hours.\nThe marathon time limit is 7 hours. \nRunners still on the route after the time is up will be picked up by a race official or medical car and driven back to the finish area. \nDistances\nThe Polar Circle Marathon features a classic 42.195km marathon and a 21.097km half marathon.\nSign up for the Polar Bear Challenge and run them both. \nEligibility\nTo participate in the marathon\, runners must be minimum 18 years of age on race day. \nTo participate in the half marathon\, runners must be minimum 16 years of age on race day. \nTo participate in the Polar Bear Challenge\, runners must be minimum 18 years of age on race day. \nMedical Team\nA team of Danish doctors will be present during inspection and race days. The medical team is ready in case of injury or severe exhaustion. A doctor will be present on the ice sheet as long as runners are on it. A doctor will be patrolling the route and a doctor will stand by in the finish area. If the medical team finds it necessary they can stop a runner and take him/her out of the race. Decisions on taking runners out of the race will only be done if the medical team believes there is a serious health risk in continuing. \nThe medical team can stop a Polar Bear Challenge runner from starting the half marathon if they deem the impact from the marathon has been too hard and poses a health risk for the runner. No refund is given in such cases. \nDo not forget to drink water before and during the race. Running in the cold will not make you feel as thirsty as in warmer climates\, but the route is still 42\,195/21\,097 kilometres long! \nAll decisions made by the medical team are final and not up for discussion. \nRunners who wish to drop out of the marathon should go to the nearest drink station where sleeping bags will be available to keep you warm. Transport to the finish area will be arranged for all runners who leave the race\, but please be aware there will be a waiting time. \nIf you take daily medicine prescribed by your physician or need any other medication\, please inform the race doctors in advance by writing to marathon@albatros-adventure.com. \nRace officials\nThe race officials reserve the right to change the course and other aspects of the race without advance notice. Please note that all decisions made by the race officials and/or medical team are final. \nRegistration\nRegistration for the Polar Circle Marathon is done in combination with booking the 5-day tour package.\nRace entry only is not possible. \nRoute logistics\nKilometre signs will be set up along the entire route. Owing to the conditions\, however\, they may be placed a few metres from the precise kilometre mark\, so use signs for orientation only and don’t calculate your speed based on the signs. On the ice sheet\, the route will be marked with poles and flags. Because of the danger of falling into a crevasse\, it is strictly forbidden to leave the marked route on the ice sheet. \nShoes\nThe Polar Circle Marathon can be run in a pair of normal running shoes or trail running shoes. We recommend that runners bring a pair of running spikes/anti-slip soles with carbon steel points that can be fitted to your running shoes – a definite plus when running on the ice sheet. There are many different types of anti-slip soles\, but some of the most popular for this race are: Petzl Spiky\, Kahtoola Microspikes and City Track Crampon. Ask your local running gear or outdoor sports shop for more details. \nRules and regulations\nNordic walking and trekking poles are not allowed. \nStart/Finish\nThe Polar Circle Marathon & Half Marathon are both scheduled to start at 8:30am. Last-minute changes to the start times may occur. \nAll runners who complete their distance within the time limit will receive a medal. A small\, symbolic award will be presented to the top three finishers in each race (marathon\, half marathon and Polar Bear Challenge) in the male and female categories. \nA light meal is available for runners at the finish line. \nRunners still on the route after the cut off time will be picked up by a race official or medical car and driven back to the finish area. \nStart numbers\nYou will receive your start number (also called bib number) in your race pack along with a start number belt. The start number must be placed on the front of your body and be visible at all times during the race. As clothing layers may come on and off\, we recommend that you use the start number belt\, but safety pins are also available. Polar Bear Challenge runners receive two numbers\, one for each day\, in case the conditions are too rough on the number sheet.\nThe start numbers are color coded according to the distance you are running. Marathon numbers are black. Half marathon numbers are red. Polar Bear Challenge numbers are white.\nA timing chip is placed on the back side of all start numbers. Do not bend or fold the start number as this may damage the chip\, which will mean that your time is not recorded. \nSupplies on the Route\nThere will be water supplies approximately every 5 kilometres. All drink stations serve water (warm) and at selected stations you will also receive warm elder flower cordial. \nYou can bring personal supplies and extra clothes for the race. Personal supply stations will be situated at the 10th\, 21st and 30th km mark (10km mark only for the half marathon). Personal supplies must be delivered at the starting area clearly marked with the runner’s bib number and name. \nBe aware that any special supplies (gels\, bars\, drinks etc.) that you may need during the race should be brought from home. While sports and running shops in Copenhagen will have a variety of foods and drinks for running you will not find such items in Greenland. Be aware that gels are likely to freeze… \nThere are no toilets along the route – meaning you will find a toilet everywhere… Toilet paper is available at all water stations. \nRemember that we run in wild and unspoiled nature and cups\, empty bottles and other trash should be put in the litter bags at the water stations – please do not litter in nature! \nPersonal supplies (energy gels\, food\, drinks\, clothes\, etc.) can be placed at selected drink stations along the route. \nSurface\nYou will be running on gravel and ice (and snow depending on weather conditions). Please be aware\, that even when covered by a thick layer of snow\, the ice can be very slippery. \nTime taking and results\nThe races will be timed by Ultimate Sport Service using BIB-chip. The BIB-chip is attached on the back of the bib number and will record each runners net finishing time. Do not fold or bend the bib number as it could damage the chip. \nIn the evening of each race a complete result list is expected to be ready. There are no age categories. \nWeather\nThe weather in Greenland is always unpredictable! \nExpect the temperature to be minus 15-10 degrees Celsius when the marathon is started. As the sun rises the temperature will typically rise to minus 10-5 degrees Celsius. Snow may occur\, but Kangerlussuaq is known for its stable and relatively comfortable climate with little precipitation. \nWind changes are the unknown factor.\nStrong winds can generate serious wind chill and are the most common cause of frostbite. \nTo be prepared for the weather\, please carefully read the information on Clothing and Safety. \nDisclaimer\nPlease note that all decisions made by the race officials and or medical team are final and not up for discussion. \nAlbatros Adventure Marathons reserve the right to change the itinerary and/or running course without further notice in the event of extreme weather. This also includes the decision to cut the course short. \nBy signing up for this event you agree to the Terms & Conditions of Albatros Adventure Marathons.

The Bank\, with the support of event organizers\, Athletics Kenya\, have built an event that has become internationally renowned and has placed Kenya on the international map. The Marathon is the flagship project for our ‘Seeing is Believing’ community imitative that aims to raise funds for the needy in the community. \nLast year’s event attracted over 22\,000 participants from all walks of life. \nThe objectives of the marathon are to:\nRaise the profile of Kenya internationally;\nHelp identify and provide opportunity for the local athletic talent to excel;\nHelp boost tourism to Kenya;\nCreate a community event for everyone’s enjoyment; and\nRaise funds for the needy in the community\, that is\, our “Seeing is Believing” community initiative. \nThe marathon has achieved all these objectives in good measure. It has put Kenya on the world map as it continues to attract international runners therefore increasing the profile of our nation. \nFurthermore\, hundreds of people have traveled to Kenya to run the last 10 marathons and after the event have proceeded on holiday to some of Kenya’s tourist attractions. \nThe marathon has received vast media coverage over the years which have seen the event broadcasted around Africa and other international news channels as well as in our local media. \nThe Nairobi Marathon has also served as a platform where budding athletes have launched their international careers. Since the launch of the Marathon in 2003 only one winner has successfully defended their title. Every year the marathon produces new winners. \nThe Nairobi Marathon is now an event for all Kenyans\, including corporate organizations that use it as a forum for team building. \nThis year\, Standard Chartered extended its sponsorship for the marathon for another five years. Together with Athletics Kenya\, we have creatively modeled the Nairobi Marathon into different categories to suit all. From the grueling full and half marathon that call for extreme courage and endurance\, to the 10km\, the wheelchair race and the family fun run\, the Nairobi marathon has something for everyone. \nRules & Regulations \nGovernance\nThe Standard Chartered Nairobi Marathon is organised in accordance with the rules and regulations of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF)\, the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races (AIMS) and Athletics Kenya (AK) and the provisions stipulated below. \nEntry\n• Entry application will only be processed after receipt of full payment of entry fee.\n• Participants of 21km and 42 km must be over 18 years of age.\n• Participants in the 10 km race and Family Fun Run under the age of 18 must be accompanied at all times by a responsible adult.\n• All participants must ensure they are medically fit to participate in the race.\n• The organiser reserves the right to contact and interview applicants by phone for additional information required for matters relating to this event.\n• The organisers will not be responsible for any disputes arising from incomplete/incorrect entry details.\n• In accordance with IAAF requirements\, all participants in the Standard Chartered Nairobi Marathon are subject to performance enhancing substances control procedures.\n• The organiser reserves the right to refuse entry to applicants who declare false information on their entry form\, do not make the required payment\, or who have been banned from competition under IAAF/AK jurisdiction or who have taken banned substances or who do not meet the entry requirements as stated in the Rules and Regulations.\n• The organiser reserves the right to limit or refuse entries and to close entries before the closure deadline without notice particularly when a specific quota for a race is full.\n• Entries are not transferrable to other persons or to future events.\n• There will be no fee refunded if the event is cancelled for whatever reason. \nParticipation\n• Whilst every reasonable precaution will be taken by the organiser to ensure the participant’s safety\, participants run at their own risk and the organisers shall not be liable for any loss and/or damage whether personal or otherwise\, and howsoever arising.\n• The Organisers reserve the right to use the participants’ personal data\, contact information\,motion pictures\, recordings or any other records obtained\, collected or submitted for the Standard Chartered Nairobi Marathon for any legitimate purposes\, including commercial advertising\, re-marketing\, marketing of other Products offered by the organizer and those offered by Sponsors to the Standard Chartered Nairobi marathon.\n• Participants are required to wear an official Marathon race number on the front of their singlet/shirt.\n• Personal Trainers\, mentors or coaches will not be allowed on the course unless they are entered in the event and wearing an official Marathon Race Number.\n• No un-official vehicles\, motorbikes or bicycles are allowed on the course.\n• No pets are allowed on the course.\n• Race numbers and Timing chips are not transferable to other participants.\n• Participants must start the event at an officially sanctioned start time only.\n• Competitors are obliged to follow the instructions of Stewards\, Race officials or Kenya Traffic Police at all times.\n• Participants must start at the official start Line and complete the full officially measured course as indicated in this guide.\n• A runner must retire from the race immediately if required to do so by any member of the official medical team identified by a reflective jacket with a red cross.\n• Road closures will be lifted at the discretion of the Kenya Traffic Police.
