! A S L U T O T E M O WELC March 8th, 2016 started out like any other day in the life of Williams Route 66 Marathon Executive Director Chris Lieberman. As a lifelong Tulsan, Chris’s passion is showing everyone the wonderful things that Tulsa has to offer, so he spent that day working on his favorite project — the Williams Route 66 Marathon. While taking inventory at the marathon’s warehouse, Chris fell over 10 feet from a ladder and suffered a traumatic brain injury that caused severe bleeding in his brain. Since then, he has survived countless surgeries, procedures, and therapy sessions on his road to recovery — and he continues to improve each day.

Ironically, without knowing anything about Chris or his work with the race, nearly every doctor and specialist that we have consulted with has said the exact same thing in the same way: “Brain injury recovery is not a sprint, it’s a marathon.” How fitting for someone who has devoted the past 13 years of his life to bringing a marathon to Tulsa and helping it grow and succeed! Without his vision, dedication, and passion, this race would not exist. Chris was able to realize his lifelong dream of making Tulsa a true destination rather than a stopover. He is proof that anything is possible if you believe in yourself and put in the work to make your dreams happen.

“This is something I knew about Chris and why I really got behind him as a friend and supported his activity: Chris is a man that has always had a heart for Tulsa. He envisioned things that nobody else did, at least not to that extent,” race committee member and friend Scott Carr said of Chris. “For me, it was just the fact he’s a visionary. But a lot of people are visionaries. He’s someone who will take that vision and make it action.” That action, and Chris’s willingness to help anyone in need, has led people from across the U.S. and the world to take up Chris’s cause, running miles for a man that currently cannot run them on his own, but who has helped so many get started in the sport. The race committee will honor Chris’s vision and ongoing recovery by including his signature on the 2016 finishers’ certificate, amongst other touches of “Lieberfun” throughout race weekend. Those who have had the pleasure of meeting Chris will immediately recall his constant smile, boundless energy,

and overwhelming zest for life. He’s a true example of practicing what you preach, and he inspires each of us to be our best selves every day. Chris, though, always talks about how inspired he is by you. The participants of the Williams Route 66 Marathon are his highest priority. He believes in the value of each and every person who crosses the finish line, no matter what the time on the clock may show. He loves hearing how you came to participate in endurance events and about the obstacles you have overcome on the road to the finish line. As he works to complete the longest marathon in his life on the road to recovery, he draws inspiration from all of us as we draw it from him. While our fearless leader takes on his own marathon to recovery, I’m proud to say that the race committee has stepped up to fulfill Chris’s vision for the event and make sure you have the best possible experience on race weekend. There is no way to adequately describe how grateful Chris and I are for their hard work, dedication, sacrifice, and tireless energy. Chris’s dream

is living on as a result of their efforts and they have never hesitated to take on the challenge of filling Chris’s shoes as he recovers. To our race committee: “thank you” will never be enough. This would not be possible without you and our volunteers, and our participants will have an amazing experience thanks to you! When you take your place at the starting line this November 19-20, 2016, you too will be furthering Chris’s dream and vision and helping make an impact on Tulsa and the world one mile at a time. When it comes to running, helping your

community, or recovering from a traumatic brain injury, no step forward is too small. We’re dedicating the 2016 Williams Route 66 Marathon events to Chris, but if we had to guess, we’d bet he is dedicating them to you. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for all of your endless love and support over the past eight months, and the past 11 years! We would not be here without you. We’ll see you at the finish line, and remember — it’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon. Kim Hann Assistant Executive Director

Dewey F. Bartlett, Jr. MAYOR

November 10, 2016

To all Route 66 Marathon participants, supporters and donors, The City of Tulsa is overwhelmed with gratitude for the thousands of people who are traveling to Tulsa to participate in the Williams Route 66 Marathon Nov. 18-20. This weekend-long event brings runners from across the country and the entire globe to Tulsa to experience a great race, along with other events in our fine city. Because of this race, visitors get to experience the rich culture, entertainment and dining options in Tulsa, along with Tulsa’s greatest asset—its people. We want to thank every runner, both local and visiting, for helping make this event the great success that it is. With the Williams Route 66 Marathon’s Charity Challenge, this race has a substantial impact on our local charities. This challenge allows runners to race on behalf of an official charity partner, and it gives Tulsa charities a large platform on which to raise awareness and funds for their cause. Last year, participants raised $75,000 for local nonprofits, and we anticipate the marathon participants will raise even more this year. We’re so pleased that the official charities for the 2016 Williams Route 66 Marathon Charity Challenge—the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma, Folds of Honor Foundation, Tulsa Habitat for Humanity, Tulsa Area United Way and the Tulsa Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals—will benefit from this year’s race and be able to better serve Tulsa’s needs in the coming year. Thank you to all those who are donating their time and resources to make this happen. We are so proud that the Tulsa spirit of giving will be on display to all the visitors who will be pouring into our city Nov. 18-20. And we know that Tulsans will welcome each visitor with the warmth, love and openness for which this city is known. We hope every visitor’s stay in Tulsa is an enjoyable experience. We look forward to seeing all our visitors return back to our city for many years to come.

Best Regards,

Dewey F. Bartlett, Jr. Mayor

INFORMATION

The Williams Route 66 Marathon Relay is a five-leg relay event. The Marathon Relay will follow the same course as the Marathon. One runner can run more than one consecutive leg of the relay. However, each relay team must have between three and five participants. Mixed teams must have at least two female participants. All members of a team must be 40 or older for the Masters division.

RELAY EXCHANGE ZONES The Relay exchange zones will be clearly delineated with cones and fencing. As runners approach the relay exchange zones, relay runners will be directed to the right side of the course and Marathon and Half-Marathon runners will be directed to keep left.

RELAY TEAM MEMBERS MUST KEEP THE EXCHANGE ZONES AND THE MARATHON COURSE CLEAR. IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO CROSS THE COURSE TO GET TO EXCHANGE ZONES 1 AND 3. RELAY PARTICIPANTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR GETTING ACROSS THE STREET SAFELY AND FOR CROSSING THE

MARATHON RELAY EXCHANGE ZONES – WHILE YOU’RE THERE Be aware of the conditions and dress appropriately for the wait. There will not be much in the way of shelter at the exchange zones. Water and portable restrooms will be available near each exchange zone. It would be a good idea to have a clothing bag for each exchange zone, so that the runner just finishing will have some warm, dry clothes when he/she is done running. The runner starting out on the new leg can leave his/her clothes in the bag for the teammate to take back to the start. However you work out the logistics, you are responsible for your own gear! Don’t leave it on the bus and don’t expect the volunteers to be able to take care of it for you.

RACE-DAY CANCELLATION, RACE ALTERATION POLICY AND WEATHER POLICY It is the primary goal of the Williams Route 66 Marathon to provide and ensure a safe event for participants, volunteers and community attendees alike. We will be diligent in not exposing the participants, the volunteers or the community at large to any undue risk in the production and/ or execution of the event. We understand the commitment the participants have made in entering the race, however, the decisions regarding race cancellations and/ or alterations will be based on the larger community safety as well as the participants. Moreover, if community resources are threatened, we will act to protect them from unnecessary stress. When weather conditions or other physical conditions present a danger to the participants as a whole, the Williams Route 66 Marathon officials maintain the right to cancel the race. Less threatening conditions could cause alteration of the race and/or the race course or length of the race to further ensure participant, volunteer and community safety. The conditions fall under an “Act of God” — and will not result in refunding of any race entry fee or future race credits. The staging of an event of this magnitude places large financial burden on the Williams Route 66 Marathon organization prior to the event date. Thus, in the event of a forced race cancellation or alteration, it is probable that the financial impact on the race would not be any different than if the race was held without compromise.

The Williams Route 66 Marathon officials, along with City of Tulsa officials, will make decisions regarding the cancellation or alteration of the race. Prior to the race, the Williams Route 66 Marathon officials will apprise the participants of the weather conditions and how the on-course flag system designation works. Williams Route 66 Marathon officials will describe any changes that may be decided as a result of weather or other unsafe conditions. In the case of a course evacuation, Williams Route 66 Marathon officials and Tulsa Police and other City of Tulsa officials will communicate throughout the race course to direct participants to safe shelters to await transportation back to the start and/or finish area.

WEATHER In regard to weather specifically, the Williams Route 66 Marathon has adopted the WBGT (Wet-Bulb Globe Temperature) index as its standard. High heat and humidity, as measured in accordance with the American College of Sports Medicine recommendations for participation in endurance events, could result in cancellation of the event. WBGT is considered “the most practical heat stress index characterizing the effect of a heat stress environment on the individual.” WBGT was developed because the drybulb temperature alone does not provide a realistic guide to the effects of heat, inasmuch as it does not take humidity and heat radiation into consideration. WBGT

is so-called because two of its input variables are wet-bulb temperature and a “black-globe” temperature; the third variable is the shielded dry-bulb temperature. The result of the WBGT will be indicated on a flag system that will be displayed at the start and finish area as well as at the medical stations along the race course. The flag color will indicate the safety conditions based on the WBGT readings. They are listed in the table below. At the starting line there will be a banner over the street. Suspended from that banner will be two flags, each 2'x3'. The flag color will reflect the heat stress at that moment. Gatorade stops will be stationed along the course. Gatorade stops will be flying a flag of a color corresponding to the heat stress at that time. The flag colors will change within 15 minutes of a change in the heat stress level. The staff at the Gatorade stop will know the meaning of each color flag.

The Williams Route 66 Marathon asserts that each participant assumes responsibility when entering an event with the potential risks that a marathon presents. All runners should be discerning of their own fitness level in their decision to enter the Marathon and associated events. Furthermore, it strongly advises all participants to cooperate with directives given by Williams Route 66 Marathon officials and to assist in ensuring the safety of their fellow participants, particularly when conditions are less than ideal. As the WBGT lowers in cold weather and EAS alerts go to yellow and/or red, it is strongly recommended that all runners slow their pace and reduce their risk of hypothermia when conditions warrant.

Extreme conditions that are high risk already place a burden on community health care systems, including emergency medical transportation, as well as hospital emergency room capacity. Williams Route 66 Marathon officials will not knowingly place the community in any such position that will place burden on overall community safety.
