ON-COURSE INFORMATION
Portable toilets:
Portable toilets will be available at the start and finish area and along the course near every
fluid station. Ask a fluid station volunteer for the closest toilet.
Medical Support:
The Novo Nordisk New Jersey Marathon & Half Marathon is very proud of the volunteer support from the many New Jersey municipalities that supply EMT staff and ambulances along
the course, as well as the volunteer medical personnel from Monmouth Medical Center who
staff our medical tents.
• There is a large medical facility adjoining our finish line area to deal with serious
issues.
• Mobile EMT ambulances are stationed at strategic locations throughout the course.
• Bicyclists will be patrolling the course in multiple sectors to both assist and seek
assistance as needed.
Timing:
We will be using chip timing with mats at the start line, finish line, 10K, 13.1 mile, 30K, and 40K
points. Timing clocks with mile markers will be placed at nearly every mile along the course.
• Clock locations: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13.1, 15, 17, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26
Please note: the timing clocks will start when the first corral starts, and therefore will not be accurate for you.
Fluid Stations:
Gatorade Endurance Formula (lemon-lime) is available at each of our fluid stations. Gatorade will be served first at the stations with water served second. Most fluid stations average
about 1.5 miles apart and are staffed by many service organizations and volunteers from
various charity beneficiaries.
