Race Day Responsibilities: |
Please note that for the 2006 Boston Marathon only the 5M, 10M, 15M, 20M and 25M checkpoints are requested to call in the information below. All 5K and Half Marathon data will be collected through the timing mats. Read attached instructions and:
When arriving at the checkpoint location, the team captain should call one of the above numbers to test that the cell location is working, and to report any difficulties and/or irregularities at the location. You will also be receiving a test call from the pressroom prior to the race start. Note: If it absolutely impossible to get through on any of the above lines because of busy signals, please call the information in to (617) 375-9850. Dick Morrison (Oval Room) and Julie Mortilliti (Oval Room Captain) can assist you in the event of a problem. Note: The team captain may be requested to fax information to the BAA on race day to fax number (617) 236-4505. Original recording sheets telephones and transistor radios should be returned to the office as soon as possible after the race in the FED EX package provided for you. We appreciate you sharing your enthusiasm and time again with us this year. Your help and expertise at these checkpoints is vitally important. On behalf of the Boston Athletic Association, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

ON RACE DAY and POST-RACE | The top 100 numbers and select times are used for verifying that award winners (and other top finishers) have indeed run the full course. A minimum of seven people is assigned to each checkpoint. Your team captain will assign teams to record wheelchair athlete, male or female bib numbers, or times. Number and Time Sheets are enclosed for recording men (blue), women (pink) and wheelchair (yellow) information. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1. RECORDING BIB NUMBERS | One person "calls" out bib numbers, the second person writes them down.
Numbers must be written down in the order the runners pass your checkpoint.
Note: Please be sure to write down "F"
in front of women's numbers. This year the women's elite division
numbers are F1 through F100, and the elite women masters' numbers
are F101 through F150. (There is a small RED F in front of the number, the
bib background is white.)
After recording the top 15 numbers, hand the sheet to
your team captain and continue recording through the 100th
runner. For wheelchairs record top five men and five women
only, then give to your team captain.
Note: should several of the top 15
athletes be running in a pack (a close group with three or
more runners beside and/or behind each other, sometimes
obscuring each others number), record them as accurately in
order as you can, and note that they are "in a pack". Do
not leave out any numbers if possible. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2. RECORDING TIMES |
One person "calls" out the times, the second person writes
them down. Times must be written down as the runners pass
the exact location of your checkpoint.
After recording the top 15 times, hand the sheet to your
team captain and start recording "select times", i.e.,
write down the number of a runner coming up to your
checkpoint, then add the time when he passes the checkpoint
(again, one person calls, the second person writes). Record
as many as possible, every fifth or sixth number would be
great. For wheelchairs record top five men and five women
only, then give to your team captain |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3. CALL-IN TO PRESS ROOM |
Once the top 15 numbers and times are recorded, the team
captain transposes the times onto the number sheet, while a
second volunteer establishes a telephone connection with
the press room. The team captain then reads both place, bib
number and time to the person taking the information in the
press room. The same procedure is in effect for the top
five wheelchair men and women. At the time of calling in,
also report any extra-ordinary circumstances that may
prevent you from doing your job.
After 1:15 p.m. (real time) men's information may also be called in on the men's wheelchair telephone number (617-375-9853), and women's information on the women's wheelchair number (617-375-9854). Please make sure to identify that you are calling in information on the OPEN race, NOT the wheelchair race. When calling in please state the following:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
COMPLETION AND RETURN | Once the top 100 men and women have been recorded, match the bib numbers
from the select timing sheets with those on the bib number sheets, and transpose
times onto the bib number sheets. The team captain collects all
sheets and is responsible for returning all information to the
BAA Office. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
BIB NUMBER INFORMATION |
Numbers on front and back are worn by:
Make sure to record "F" when writing down numbers.
All wheelchair numbers start with a W, which is already filled in on your checkpoint sheets. For your information Quad Class athlete numbers have a blue background, however they are anticipated to be farther back in the field and as such would not have to be recorded. NOTE: Wheelchair athletes will also have the digits of their bib number displayed on their helmets: in front of the helmet (when the athlete is in "tuck "or "racing" position) and on the right and left side of the helmet! The digits will also be posted on the frame of the chair, just in front of the right wheel (visible from the side). The wheelchair women's helmet and chair numbers also will have a pink background. All bibs display adidas at the top, and 2006 BOSTON MARATHON name and blue logo at the bottom. All official numbers 1000-10,999 have a blue background, numbers 11,000 and up have a red background. Also, see the 2006 Elite Field List below. |
