DISCOUNT FERRY TICKETS ROTTNEST FAST FERRIES and ROTTNEST EXPRESS are both major sponsors of this event and are offering discount ferry tickets to participants and those accompanying them. FROM PERTH & FREMANTLE: ROTTNEST MARATHON VENI VIDI VICI – “I came, I saw, I conquered” The inaugural Rottnest Marathon was run in October 1994. In that year 72 runners completed the scenic undulating island course and a plaque with the names of those finishers has been placed in the Rottnest Hotel. Ray Brown took out the men’s race in a time of 2.35.50 and visiting New Zealand runner Nyla Carroll took the women’s title in 2.52.20. Rottnest Express is offering 25% off same day return and extended return ferry fare (excluding the Government landing fee) and $10.00 bike hire for online bookings only. To obtain this exclusive discount, please visit www.rottnestexpress.com.au and enter promotion code “BROOKS2014”. For further Rottnest Express ferry details, please call 1300 467 688. The race has established its own bit of mythology. The legend has it that Harry McFordyce, an immigrant prisoner on Rottnest Island some 70 years ago escaped the hands of justice and attempted to run off the island. On the fourth leg around the island McFordyce succumbed to dehydration and died. If you run the marathon you will see and hear the ghost of Harry playing his bagpipes throughout the race. On the last lap at the foot of Harry’s Hill you will be given a gold coin, which you must carry up the hill and deposit, in Harry’s bag. Legend says failure to do this will result in cramps, dehydration and a possible DNF imposed on you by the ghost of Harry. FROM HILLARYS: The marathon is symbolized by its motto “Veni Vidi Vici” and its logo, a quokka (a rat like animal native to the island). The quokka that has survived throughout time reflects that this marathon will also survive because it is a marathon designed to meet the needs of all runners, regardless of talent, speed or size. Rottnest Fast Ferries is offering 25% off same day and extended return ferry transfers for adult fares (excluding the Government landing fee). To obtain this discount please visit www.rottnestfastferries.com.au to book online, or call us on 08 9246 1039 and quote “BROOKS2014”. $10 bike hire can also be added to your booking over the phone or on the day. DRINK STATIONS Five drink stations on the course, located at approx 2km intervals, will be manned by volunteer army cadets, who will issue you with water. For the marathon, electrolyte drink will be available at approx 5k intervals. For the marathon: Drink Stn. No.1 (approx 6k, 15k, 25k, 34k) Drink Stn. No.2 (approx 7k, 17k, 26k, 36k) Drink Stn. No.3 (approx 9k, 19k, 28k, 38k) Drink Stn. No.4 (approx 11k, 21k, 30k, 40k) Drink Stn. No.5 (approx 13k, 23k, 32k) Special drinks must be handed into Unit 349 (adjacent to Heritage Common) by 6.00pm on SATURDAY. Drinks must clearly identify your Bib No. and the drink station it is to be placed at. These drinks will be placed on a separate table and it will be up to the participants to retrieve their own drink. Alternatively, participants may have their supporters hand them special drinks at the drink station locations so long as there is no interference with the operation of the drink station or with other participants trying to get their own special drinks. Thirst is a poor indicator of fluid replacement needs, drink regularly and before you become thirsty. Even if the day is cool, the wind can dehydrate you by as much as 25%. Continue to drink after the run to replace the fluid loss. HEALTH ADVICE ∗ The race organisers recommend that the marathon be attempted only after a period of regular running, culminated by about three months of training directed towards the marathon. This should include some long distances and perhaps some shorter races. ∗ Prior to the day ensure you are adequately hydrated (your urine should by clear). On the day of the race, continue to take on fluids before, during and after the race. Weigh yourself before a long training run and then again after, the difference in weight is the amount of fluid you have lost (1kg = 1 litre). This helps to determine how much you need to drink during the event. ∗ Do not wear new shoes or clothes, as they will tend to cause blisters and chaffing. ∗ If you have been unwell in the 48 hours prior to the event or if you are recovering from a viral infection, do not attempt to run. You must retire if you feel distressed, disorientated, or are asked to do so by an official. ∗ The race organisers recommend you seek medical advice to ensure that you are fit to compete in any such event and that this advice is obtained regularly and with the specific demands of the event in mind. If you answer YES to any of the following questions we strongly suggest that you seek medical approval prior to running the marathon: 1. Do you have a history of heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes or asthma? 2. Do you smoke? 3. Are you 15% over your ideal weight for height? 4. Have you been running for less than 1 year and are aged 35 years or over? The race organisers can provide a list of doctors who are able to confirm the participant's fitness to compete in the event.
