What does it take to keep thousands of marathon runners fueled, hydrated, and moving toward the finish line?
In this episode of Runnah, I sit down with Ed, the Water Stop Coordinator for the Cape Cod Marathon, to go behind the scenes of one of the most important parts of race day.
From coordinating volunteers and managing water and electrolyte stations to preparing for the unexpected, Ed shares what it really takes to keep marathon aid stations running smoothly. We also discuss common mistakes runners make at water stops, how volunteers prepare for race day, and why these teams are such an essential part of every successful marathon.
Whether you're running the Cape Cod Marathon, your first marathon, or simply want to learn what goes on behind the scenes of a major road race, this episode offers a new appreciation for the volunteers who help every runner reach the finish line.
