WHAT WE WILL DO FOR YOU:

• Advise you as to the risk of heat injury. We will also announce this again at the start of the race.
• Provide you with all the water you need at each of our aid stations.
• Create a medical safety net along the course. In addition to course monitors and police officers at each intersection, there will be three aid stations along the route as well as two at Aloha Stadium. These are manned by hundreds of volunteers assisted by Hawaii Army National Guard first-aid teams (consisting of paramedics and litter bearers with two-way communications) roaming between the stations. There is also a medical station in Aloha Stadium prepared for the worst. Try to not meet them!

WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR US:

• Fill out the data on the back of your race number.
• Line up according to your color-coded number. Slower runners falling in front of fast runners could be seriously injured.
• Understand the risk of heat injury. If it’s a hot and humid day, forget a PR (personal record.)
• Drink! Drink! Drink! at every aid station. Don’t wait until you feel thirsty. It may be too late.
• Know the symptoms of heat illness. If you think you’re in trouble, ask for advice or help.
• Help your comrades. If you see participants in distress, give them the advice we gave you. Give their race number & information to one of the volunteers along the route who will alert medical personnel. They would do no less for you.

DON’T LET HEAT STROKE RUIN YOUR DAY!

Environmental heat illness, also known as heat exhaustion or heat stroke, will not only ruin your whole day, but can and has been fatal to those — including highly trained athletes — who have not heeded precautions.

Heat stroke inevitably results in damage to all bodily organs and after collapse, even with proper treatment, death occasionally occurs. Symptoms such as weakness, burning and light-headedness can be warning signs but most importantly, if you’re not sure what is happening, stop and seek assistance.
