The half marathon begins and ends in Victory Park at the American Airlines Center immediately northwest of downtown Dallas. Mile markers will be located at each mile.
There will be more than 6 aid stations along the course. All stations will provide water and Gatorade Endurance Formula to runners, and some stations will provide sliced oranges.
Gatorade Endurance Formula (Lemon-Lime flavor) will be served at each aid station along the course of this year’s race.
Gatorade Endurance Formula is a specialized sports drink that contains approximately twice the amount of sodium (200 mg per 8 ounces) of Gatorade Thirst Quencher, along with chloride, potassium, magnesium and calcium to help sustain hydration by more fully replacing what is lost in sweat. Gatorade Endurance Formula also contains a 6% carbohydrate solution (14 grams per 8 ounces), just like Gatorade Thirst Quencher, which research shows is optimal to help speed fluid back into the body and fuel working muscles.
Gatorade Endurance Formula is available in 34 ounce and 20 ounce sport bottles at major grocery and convenience stores nationwide. For more information about Gatorade Endurance Formula, please visit www.itsonthecourse.com.
At each aid station, medical support will be available from volunteer medical personnel provided by Baylor Sportscare. Contact any aid station volunteer to be directed to the medical table at any aid station. In addition, if for any reason, a runner is unable to continue due to medical reasons, medical support can be notified for assistance and/and or a "sag wagon" provided to return the participant to the finish line. At the finish line there will be a major medical tent available with complete medical staffing.
