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. |

To verify race information and avoid race day problems, runners are highly encouraged to make every effort to pick up their own race packet. A photo ID is required to pick up your race packet.
Runners who are not able to pick up their packets in person must make arrangements for a representative to pick up their packets. Your representative must present a copy of your photo ID and a signed authorization form from you in order to claim your race packet. One person is limited to picking up a total of two race packets including their own.
Relay team members are permitted to pick up their entire team’s packets. The person must be a relay team member and the procedure for picking up another runner’s packet must be followed for each runner.
After picking up race numbers and gift bags, registered runners will be able to sign up for pace teams, purchase the Official Nike Marathon gear in the Dick's Sporting Goods store, and chat with fellow runners. Merchants and sponsors will have give-aways and free consultations. Kids and adults will be able to participatea in a multitude of fun activities.
