Mount Carmel Sports Medicine Specialists
New Moon is partnering with Mount Carmel Sports Medicine Specialists to provide course support and event services. One of Central Ohio's leading sports medicine providers will not only help you prevent injuries but to get you back running and walking and doing the things you love quickly after an injury.
Seeded Corral Start
We have established a corral system to allow the field of participants to spread out nicely along the course route. We have those who plan to run fastest in the half and quarter marathon towards the front, and those who plan to walk towards the rear. During the registration process, you will be asked to predict your expected minute per mile pace for your respective distance. You can change your corral up to April 15 (we have to get the bibs printed after that date). You can always move back to a slower corral on race day if you need to, but you will not be permitted to jump to a faster corral. The corrals will go one after another and your start time will not begin until you cross the starting line.
Heat Index/Temperature Policy
If race day is significantly hotter than the preceding days, or if the few days leading up to and including race day are extremely hot, then the risk of exertional heat stroke is much increased. There is the possibility that as runners and walkers will either not be acclimatised or else they may start the race already dehydrated from previous heat exposure. If this is the case, the following activity and awareness activity will take place:
- Announcements leading up to race day warning participants of heat risks and recommending hydration increase leading up to the event
- Pre-race announcements of current temperature and heat index and recommend pre-race hydation
- If Heat index >72 -80 (see below) chart pre-race, aide stations on course will increase from nine (9) to twelve (12)
- If Heat index >80- 88 pre-race and expected to be the same or increase during the race, race will be modified to quarter marathon
- If Heat index >88 pre-race and expected to be the same or increase during the race, race will be postponed or suspended
During the event, a graded flagging system based on the Heat Stress Index (HSI) has been devised. According to this system:
- Black flag (extreme risk, HSI > 88): If cancellation is not possible participants will be advised of the risks and not to compete.
- Red flag (high risk, 80 > HSI > 88): All runners will be made aware that heat injury is possible. Those susceptible to heat will be advised not to compete and all runners urged to slow their pace and hydrate adequately.
- Yellow flag (moderate risk, 72 > HSI > 80): Participants with high risk for heat stroke will be recommended that they withdraw.
- Green flag (low risk, 72 > HSI)
Course Hydration Stations/Medical
There will a total of seven (7) aid stations on the course containing water and hydration drink, at the following locations:
- Aid Station #1 - Mile 1.25
- Aid Station #2 - Mile 2.25
- Aid Station #3 - Mile 3.25
- Aid Station #4 - Mile 4.25
- Aid Station #5 - Mile 5.25
- Aid Station #6 - Mile 6
- Aid Station #7 - Mile 6.5 (half and quarter split)
If heat index exceeds 80 additional hydration stations will be added:
Aid Station #8 - Mile 3.7
Aid Station #9 - Mile 4.5
Aid Station #10 - Mile 7
EACH COURSE HYDRATION STATION IS EQUIPPED WITH BASIC FIRST AID KIT AND HAS THE ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE EMERGENCY MEDICAL NEEDS. DESIGNATED MEDICAL STATIONS/PERSONNEL ARE LOCATED:
- Finish Line
- Mile 2
- Mile 3.5
- Mile 5
Inclement Weather Policy
Weather forecasts will be monitored prior to the event paying special attention to the possibility of heavy rain, thunder and lightning, high winds and extreme temperatures. If necessary, athletes will be made aware of these predictions on the Greenswell website and on our Facebook so that participants can properly prepare for severe weather during the race as well as possible course alterations. Severe weather updates will also be sent to participants via email as necessary.
The Event Director and Safety Director will monitor the weather and make a decision if any action will be taken to modify the race. Possible changes include: altering the start time for the race or in extreme situations, cancellation of the event. Please listen closely to all public address announcements at the starting line of the race.
Visible lightning will cause the race to be postponed for a minimum of 15 minutes. Additional sightings will continue to delay the race in 15 minute increments.
If heat is predicted, extra water and hydration stations will be provided to the athletes, both prior to, during and after the event. The medical team will be alerted that athletes may require additional medical attention during and after the event due to the high temperatures. If it is felt that it is unsafe for participants to start the race due to severe heat that race may be suspended or cancelled.
Race personnel reserve the right to delay, cancel, or suspend the race due to inclement weather. Participants must abandon the race if ordered to do so the race personnel, medical staff, fire or police officers.
