Familiarize yourself with the locations of hydration stations along the course and consider carrying your own hydration if needed. Avoid alcohol and caffeinated beverages before the race, as they can contribute to dehydration. -

Although the Golden Pagoda Marathon is mainly a flat course, there are a few sections with slight elevation.

Listen to Your Body:
Pay close attention to how your body feels during the race. Do not ignore symptoms such as dizziness, chest pain, or severe shortness of breath. If you experience any of these symptoms, slow down, rest, and seek medical help at the nearest aid station. -
Pacing:
Start at a manageable pace and avoid overexertion, especially considering the gradual rise in temperature as the morning progresses. Run at your own comfortable pace. As soon as you feel overexerted or feel dizziness, gasping for breath, palpitations, or a sinking feeling, chest pain, stop right there and seek help at the nearest medical camp.
-
Cool Down:
After finishing, as you cross the finish line, do not suddenly come to a halt. Keep walking ahead – this is a medical need. During any prolonged physical activity, the body’s blood supply tends to shift towards the extremities and away from internal organs. Therefore, it’s advisable for runners to continue walking and try breathing normally after completing the race. Standing still or abruptly stopping can induce feelings of nausea, dizziness, and weakness, often leading to fainting. Walking will help redistribute blood flow to vital organs, so it is recommended to stay in motion. This is particularly important given the high daytime temperature. If at any point you feel the need for assistance, please reach out to one of our medical personnel. Rehydration and Nutrition: Continue to hydrate post-race with water and electrolyte solutions. consume a balanced meal with carbohydrates and protein within 30-60 minutes to aid muscle recovery. Monitoring for Heat- Related Illnesses: be vigilant for symptoms of heat related illnesses, such as dizziness, headache, nausea, excessive fatigue, or confusion. given the forecasted temperature, the risk of heat exhaustion or heat stroke is heightened. Seek medical attention immediately if these symptoms occur.
