ON-COURSE SUPPORT
Medical Support: A fully staffed medical tent will be located at the finish line.
Medical and Safety Information: If you are having problems on the race course and are unable to finish, we have communication available at every aid station and a course marshal riding the course. The Marquette Mountain Ski Patrol will be stationed along the course to offer medical assistance to runners and a team of paramedics from Marquette City Firefighters Local 643 will be at the finish area. Seeking aid at one or more of the aid stations does not prevent you from continuing the race. However, any assistance that results in you being moved forward in the course will result in disqualification.
*Sudden cardiac arrest is the primary cause of marathon-associated death. Runners with pre-existing cardiovascular, respiratory, or chronic diseases should consult with their physician prior to marathon training and participation. Medical assistance is available at the medical tent at the finish line area until 1:30 pm on race day. Only runners in need of medical assistance will be allowed entrance into the medical tent.
