HALF MARATHON SPECTATOR INFORMATION SPECTATOR TIPS The only way to see runners during this race is to drive from spot to spot. If you do, plan for some traffic congestion at key spots. Allow extra time to get from one viewing spot to another. Know your athlete’s anticipated pace so you can estimate when he or she will arrive at your next viewing area. Be a help. Throw a bag in the car with things like extra socks, an extra shirt, toilet paper, Vaseline, sunscreen, ice, or lip balm just in case your athlete needs it. 9 9W FULL/HALF START & FINISH 1 MARIST HIGHLAND FAIRVIEW AVE MORGAN LAKE TRAILHEAD 12 13 6 2 TURNAROUND 9 7 11 44 3 8 5 10 HALF MARATHON TURNAROUND MAP LEGEND 9 44 POUGHKEEPSIE 55 HALF MILE MARKERS 4 NORTH OF LOVE ROAD ENTRANCE 55 9W VASSAR COLLEGE 55 LAGRANGE SPECTATOR ZONES Cheer on your athlete—and all the others! There’s nothing more uplifting than getting a smile, a thumbs up, a “way to go!” or any encouraging word from a spectator—especially as the miles pile on and motivation wanes. Cheer, clap, or sing—this is guaranteed to help motivate your athlete and anyone else who is the recipient of your positive vibes. PLEASE REVIEW THE MAP ABOVE FOR ALL THE POTENTIAL VIEWING AREAS.
