Glass City Marathon Water Stop When: April 26, 2009 - 7:30AM to setup, 8:00AM race start, done before noon. New this year, the half marathon race starts at 8:00AM only two miles from our location. So instead of racers getting to us at 9:00AM, it will be 8:15AM. Where: Side Cut Metro Park, 1200 W River Rd, Maumee,OH. The course may have changed, but we're in the same place as last year. What: Team Toledo is working a water/gatorade stop for the Glass City Marathon. Actually, we work two water stops, but since they're accross the street from each other we're still together. Why: One, it's fun. We always have music, food, and some of us even dress up. Two, it's a great way to psych'd up for racing season. Three, it's interesting and a learning experience to be on the other side of the water stop. Four, nobody knows athletes better than athletes. Since we're atheletes, we know exactly what the athletes need. Five, volunteer points. Even more fun than picking up garbage. But if you still want to pick-up garbage, you can pick up the cups after the runners toss them. Note: Important note! Dress warm! You might be standing out in weather from 20 to 50 degrees. Layers work best. If you get too warm, you can always take off a layer. Even if it doesn't rain(or snow) you might still get wet because not all water hand-offs go smoothly. Bring gloves. Wear warm/dry footwear. BYOB: Bring your own beverage. I'm talking coffee, hot chocolate, or whatever. There will be plenty of water and Gatorade. But if you want something warm, you need to bring your own.
