Update #2 (11 weeks to the NJM / LBH Weekend)

On the Course:

I am pleased to report that we will again be using Gatorade-Endurance Formula (lemon lime) at each of our Fluid Stations with Gatorade served first and water second.

Fluid Stations: Most Fluid Stations are less than 2 miles apart and will be staffed by many service organizations and NJM charity volunteers.

Energy Gels: GU, energy gel (vanilla and chocolate) at multiple locations. Please be prepared to carry your own favorite gel packs that you have been training with and only take a GU if necessary. We will have 6,000 gels on the course.

Oranges/Bananas: Located at about mile 5.5 and mile 18.

High Energy Food Buffet: Pretzels, M&M's, de-fizzed cola and more will again be located at about mile 10 and 23.

We will be doubling our numbers of portable toilets at the Start/Finish area as well as along the course. On the course they will be located at or very near each and every Fluid Station. Please do not relieve yourself on private property!

I know many of you train with iPods or headphones. The NJM organizers strongly recommend that you leave your headphones at home for safety reasons. You need to be aware of your surroundings w/r to fellow runners passing and the possibility of errant traffic on the course. Besides, there are so many distractions along the course the need for your favorite music really becomes secondary!

Lastly, we will again have timing clocks, large mile markers at every mile and ChampionChip timing mats at the Start/Finish and multiple locations on the course.

Registrations Update:

We are closing in on 6,000 registrations for the NJM/LBH and 100 Relay Teams. We are projecting closing LBH registration at 5,000 by April 5, closing NJM registration by April 12 and NJM Relay by April 24.

Registration Confirmation:

Please go to www.njmarathon.org to confirm your registration info. It's east to do and will eliminate any confusion on NJM Weekend.

Running regards,
