Tips to View Your Runner
 
  • Make your own unique sign that your runner can easily identify.
  • Know your runner’s expected pace per mile. Then consult the charts below for the Full Marathon, the Half Marathon and the 5K to find out at what time your runner will be at different spots on the course.
  • Check out other hints on the Marathon 101 page.
  • You can also use the Pace Calculator to enter a specific pace and obtain a listing by mile markers/landmarks. 
View the official Spectator Guide (PDF format).  This is a large file and may take a few moments to open; if printing, we recommend legal size paper.
