Tip of the Month
by UPMC Health Plan "No matter what the level of ability, you have more potential than you can develop in a lifetime."
(James T. McCay) Water and fuel demands increase as your running distance increases. Have about one-half cup of fluids every twenty minutes and a snack of simple carbohydrates (such as sports gels, packets of honey, and energy drinks), every 45 minutes. Avoid fiber, protein and fat because these take longer to digest and can cause stomach cramps. For recovery nutrition, don't forget that real food can be just as good as, if not better than, sports bars and powders. |
Race Week Media Credentials
Race Day Credentials
To receive Race Day Media Credentials, please submit your information to media@pittsburghmarathon.com on or before April 25, 2010. We require your name, media affiliation, address, phone number, fax number and email address. Place “credentials” in the subject line. Media outlets who will be sending a large crew are encouraged to provide a single comprehensive list if possible. Only individuals with press credentials will be admitted to the Press Room and restricted photo areas on race day. It is possible that we will have a Photo Bridge and Media Truck available; if so, you will need to have special clearance for these areas. If you would like access to restricted photo opportunities near the start or finish line, or access to the Media Truck, please include that in your request and we will be in touch with you.
