Preface: Since the marathon reached its climax in the past two years, the marathon has now fallen to a low point, and many competitions cannot be held on time. The Chongqing Marathon, which is a major domestic event alone, has been cancelled for two sessions. For runners who make a living by running, this is indeed a difficult thing. For those "rookies" who have just come into contact with running, they have lost the participation experience they should have. After all, running dozens of kilometers by themselves is a completely different feeling than running in the marathon arena. In this article, we serve the running "rookies" and reveal the entire process of marathon from registration to completion. Registration for
marathon generally takes place at least one month before. Early registration has a certain preparation time for the organizer, because when registering, the personal information of the runner will be counted, such as the size of the clothing. This clothing is distributed by the organizer, and we can wear it or not. Moreover, most marathons do not need to upload the running records of the previous day when registering for it. Therefore, as long as you are a healthy person, you can register. Of course, you do not need to issue a health certificate, it depends entirely on self-consciousness.
registration work generally lasts for a few days, and then waits for the lottery. This is somewhat similar to the current lottery for house selling, because only the runners who win the lottery need to pay the registration fee within a certain period of time. When registering, we only need to choose our own project. All Malaysian, Half Horse and Happy Run can only choose one of them to draw the lottery. After winning the lottery, the registration fee for each project is also different. All Malaysians are the most expensive, while Happy Run is the cheapest. The registration fee is now rising. Take the Xi'an Marathon for example. The registration fee has increased to 200 yuan, but the winning rate of all Malaysians is higher, and the winning rate of female runners is high. After paying the fee, the organizer starts making number cloth, clothes, etc. Three days before the competition begins, we need to go to the competition site to collect the participating materials. These do not require money, you only need to bring your ID card. The items you receive on site cannot be collected on your behalf because you need a real name and you need to wear a participating bracelet on your hands. It cannot be disassembled. Only after the competition is over, we can only violently dismantle them. When collecting the items, we need to choose clothes of the right size. At the same time, we need to check the availability of chips on the number directory on a specific device. The participating materials sent by the organizer are also very different. Generally, high-level events are held, and the participating materials are richer, such as gloves, local characteristics, energy glue, raincoats, etc.
It will soon be the night before the competition. We need to prepare the items that will participate in the next day, such as the number directory should not be placed on the clothes, the shoes, shorts and socks should be prepared, the sports watch should be charged, the energy glue should be prepared, and so on. Of course, light foods such as Babao porridge and oatmeal should be prepared as breakfast the next morning. It is best to finish breakfast around 5 in the morning, because most competitions are held at 7:30, and we need to empty our stomachs before running so that there will be no "condition" during the running. However, the toilet at the marathon site is difficult to wait, so we must prepare in advance.
There is a security check gate when entering the field. We do not need to bring our ID card. The bracelet and number cloth become a unique identifier, so this also gives some fake people an opportunity to take advantage of it. After entering the running area, we need to follow the partition position on the number cloth. Generally, starting with the letter A, the higher the level is, the higher the level. Remember to stand in your own partition. Once you connect the area, the results may be invalid. At the same time, there will be a timing blanket on the entire track about 5 kilometers apart. We need to run over this, otherwise the results will be invalid. This is to prevent someone from cheating.
When running, everyone usually runs very fast at the beginning. At this time, everyone must keep steady. We need to accumulate energy for the second half of the journey. There are more people on the track, so we must observe more. It is best to run on the side. Supply is only available after 5 kilometers. Generally, after the happy run, the initial supply is mainly liquid, such as mineral water and beverages. It is recommended that everyone can replenish supplies as long as they are not tempted to urinate. You can drink a small amount of water in front. Slowly we can drink beverages and rinse our mouths with mineral water. Solid supply is generally available at around 16 kilometers, mainly bananas. The more we go back, the more abundant the supply.
It is necessary to remind everyone that there will be a kilometer reminder on every kilometer of road until the finish line. After the finish line, there will be a collection of finishing supplies. This is at the exit. We just take it when we leave the stadium. As long as we can finish the race by time, there will definitely be medals. Some organizers will also send slippers and drinks. Basically, after waiting for a short time, we will receive text messages from the organizers about finishing the race, so that the entire marathon will be over. I hope my process can be helpful to everyone, and if you have any unclear one, you can discuss it further.
