Perth Marathon - Spartans

As part of the 25th anniversary celebrations, the WAMC instituted a "SPARTAN" status to the Perth Marathon. All runners who have completed ten or more Perth Marathons are now "Spartans" and are awarded a permanent race number, printed on a distinctive cloth bib.

The bibs are coloured coded according to the number of Perth Marathons completed (10 marathons blue, 15 marathons green, 20 marathons red, 25 marathons gold, 30 marathons white with a blue laurel surrounding the number).

Invitation

The West Australian Marathon Club joined the national Kids Marathon Series in 2008. It has been a great success and we are looking forward to the Perth Kids Marathon continuing to grow bigger and bigger each year. It has a unique format that allows kids kindergarten through high school to run a marathon... one kilometre at a time. It will be held in conjunction with the annual Perth Marathon on Sunday 19th June, 2011.

All children are invited to commence a training program in April/May/June and start logging their kilometres. The aim is to run the first 40km of the marathon distance over a number of weeks in the child’s own time, then on marathon day, complete the final 2.195km on the actual marathon course.

This is a great opportunity for children of school age to start an exercise program that will continue over a number of weeks and culminate in the completion of a “marathon”.

Bob Braid, Race Director

Schools

Encourage your school to implement a Kids Marathon program as part of your athletics or PE programs. Schools can run training sessions before or after school, during lunch break or as part of the weekly PE lesson. Schools can be innovative about the way they implement the program and integrate it with a range of health and lifestyle options. Contact the race director for a Schools Kit to assist on how schools can become involved.

What is a Marathon?

In ancient Greece, Phidippedes ran from the plains of Marathon to Athens to report about the Persian War. That is where the marathon got its name. Thousands of years later, people still run, but now they do it for fun. About half a million people run marathons every year! People who run marathons train a lot. Your body must be in good shape to run a marathon. A marathon is 42.195km. The Perth Kids Marathon will get you on your way to being physically fit.

How to run your marathon

• Find a safe place to exercise
• Walk or run 40km in the 8-10 weeks leading up to 20th June. Use the training schedule for help planning your runs.
• Come to the Perth Marathon on Sunday 19th June 2011 to run the final 2.195km of your marathon.

"FINISHING IS WINNING . . . WINNING IS FINISHING

Training Schedule

If you can only run a little, keep trying. If you run more than a kilometre a day, great! If you play a lot of sport where you run a lot, this may be easy. Just remember to space your workouts so you are prepared to run the final distance on marathon day. Early completion of the program is not recommended. The schedule below leaves Saturdays and Sundays available for catch up days or to give you a rest day. It is important to keep track of your progress toward your goal. As you complete each kilometre colour or mark it off on your Kilometre Countdown Chart (sent out after your entry is received).

Mon 25 - 29 Apr 2011	1km / day	5km total
Mon 2 - 6 May 2011	1km / day	5km total
Mon 9 - 13 May 2011	1km / day	5km total
Mon 16 to 20 May 2011	1km / day	5km total

2. The organisers reserve the right to reject or cancel any entry at any time. The entrant must sign the waiver. Entrants must turn 18 years of age by 31st December, 2011 for the full marathon. The entry fee is non-refundable.

3. Entrants will not be permitted to take pets on the course. Skateboards, roller skates, running prams and similar devices are strictly forbidden due to the risk of injury to competitors. We do not have exclusive use of the shared paths, please be courteous to other users. Due to limited space on the paths, cyclists are discouraged from accompanying competitors.

4. Runners competing in the relay will not be recognised in the full Marathon results. Relay runners that start with the Marathon will result in that team being automatically disqualified in the Relay.

5. All registered participants in the event will be recorded by an electronic timing system on crossing the finish line. A disposable timing chip is attached to the back of the race bib. Do not remove or peel the plastic timing device from the race bib. Attach the race bib to the front of the body only, by pinning the bib in the holes at the four corners. Please make sure that the race bib is kept flat and not folded or crumpled. The race bib is allocated to the person nominated on the entry form and is non-transferable to another person. The race bib must remain in its issued form.

   LOSS OF THE RACE BIB OR IF THE BIB IS LEFT AT HOME ON THE DAY, WILL RESULT IN A $5.00 SURCHARGE FOR ISSUE OF ANOTHER RACE BIB.

6. WAMC events are generally conducted under IAAF rules and due to some recent incidents, two rules in particular need to be highlighted. First, participants must only take drinks from the nominated drink station locations. Second, participants must not be paced (or accompanied) by non-participants either on foot or on bicycles. Breaches of any of these rules may lead to disqualification.

Shotz Sports Nutrition

Shotz Sports Nutrition, apart from providing the electrolyte drink on the course and some gels at the start, have also provided a gel flask(one per marathon participant). The flask can be picked up from the West Australian Marathon Club Office or at Runner's World by providing your bib number - if you required before the day OR collected on the morning of the event.

Only electrolyte drink and water will be provided on the course of the Marathon - there will be no energy supplements supplied so if you are used to them you will need to provide your own. Because Shotz tabs are refreshing and not tacky and sweet you are able to drink more, be less dehydrated and better equipped to combat the negative effects dehydration has on your performance. Please keep in mind Shotz Electrolyte Tablet has no carbohydrate, and therefore no energy. It is designed purely for hydration.

Timing

All registered participants in the event will be recorded by an electronic timing system on crossing the finish line. A disposable timing chip is attached to the back of the race bib. Do not remove or peel the plastic timing device from the race bib. Attach the race bib to the front of the body only, by pinning the bib in the holes at the four corners. Please make sure that the race bib is kept flat and not folded or crumpled. The race bib is allocated to the person nominated on the entry form and is non-transferable to another person. The race bib must remain in its issued form.
