SUBSIDIARY INFORMATION
The route
The Milano City Marathon 2013 will feature, as usual, a smooth route, with no
rough surfaces and virtually all on level ground: all in all, these are the
ideal conditions for optimising one’s personal time. The route, that starts at
the Fiera di Rho/Pero and crosses the most characteristic parts of the city to
end in Piazza Castello, is entirely closed to vehicle traffic; the kilometric
markings are indicated every kilometre with signposts on the sides of the
street.
Roads opening
Once the last runner has passed the finish line, roads will be reopened to
traffic and intersections will no longer be protected.
Anyway, some time limits are set, after which the organization will no longer
be able to ensure the complete closure of the race course.
Maximum time – half marathon: 2h50′
Maximum time – km 30: 4h15′
Maximum time – arrival: 6h00′
Refreshment and sponging stations
In conformity with IAAF/FIDAL regulations, refreshment
stations are located at every 5 kilometres along the route and at the finish
line. All the refreshment stations will be supplied with water, while fruit,
biscuits, and dietary supplements will be available from the 20 km mark.
The marathon kit distributed to all athletes contains
two personal sponges (to be kept carefully) to be carried during the race and
immersed in the special water tanks installed at every 5 kilometres along the
route beginning at the 7.5km mark. In these locations there will be no sponges that athletes can take; nonetheless, extra
sponges will be available to athletes in the starting area.
Medical services
The Organising Committee will provide adequate medical services to follow and
assist the participants at the starting line, at the finish line, and along the
route with personnel, vehicles, and fixed stations.
For athletes who
withdraw
Along the route, a shuttle bus service will pick up injured athletes or those
who have decided to withdraw from the competition. Buses will leave when at
full capacity and will transport the athletes to emergency stations or to the
finish line area, where they will be able to pick up their bags and hand in the
chip without passing under the finish line.
Showers
Dressing rooms are located in the starting and finish zones. At the end of the
race, runners will be able to take hot showers at the Civic Arena.
Timing
The timing and elaboration of the rankings will be carried out with the Timing
Data Services system, while the fairness of the race will be ensured by FIDAL
judges. The following times will be taken for each athlete: the official time
(between the official start to the passage under the finish line, the real time
(from the passage under the starting line to the passage under the finish
line), passing of km 10 and km 20 marks, the halfway point of the marathon (km
21.097) and at the km 30.
Pacemakers
Different groups of pacemakers (“hares”) can help marathon runners to maintain
a constant pace and arrive at the finish line according to a time established
in advance. The pacemaker will be present and can be recognised by their
clothing. They will be marked by special balloons and will complete the race

THE DAY OF THE RACE
How to reach the
starting line
To reach the starting line (situated in Rho, near Fieramilano buildings) and
deposit bags, we recommend two alternative routes:
• One possibility is Line 1 (RED LINE) of the Subway to the Rho Fiera stop.
Attention: Travel time between the Cadorna stop and the Rho Fiera is about 20
minutes by subway and then 10 minutes on foot to reach the starting line zone.
• Otherwise, it is possible to arrive by car, parking in the P3 and P4 Fair
parking lots according to their fees. Those arriving from the A8 and A4
motorways must take the Fieramilano exits and follow the indications for “Porta
Est”, parking lots P3 and P4.
Bag with personal
articles
You must submit the official bag (which you will receive with the marathon kit)
containing your personal articles between 07:30 and 08:30 at the bag deposit
located at the starting line zone (Porta Cargo 3). Attention: after this time,
no bags will be collected because the trucks will have left for the finish
line!
Do not forget to apply the specific label of the race number assigned to you
onto your bag. We suggest that you not leave any objects of value in the bag;
the organisation will not be held liable for loss or theft of such objects.
Following your arrival, you can pick up your bag by showing your race number.
