1. Parking
Start lines are confusing and it can be hard for families to keep up with you! You have to check in a bag, visit the K-Jon x3, and find your corral and this is difficult to do with families members. I suggest you get dropped off at the start line with a hug and kiss!
2. Where and how many times do you want to see your Krewe?
Check out the spectator guide and find a spot that a Band is playing at!
3. What side of the road is your family going to stand on?
You will have to move to that side of the road. There will be 14,000 runners so you have to move over to see them!
4. Balloons, Signs, etc.
If your family has a balloon it is easier for you to see them!
5. What back-up fuels do you want them to hand you?
You should carry your gels, just in case you miss them. But they can hand you candy, oranges, extra Accel Gel, or small cold bottle of gatorade.
6. Prepare your family that you will look pretty
beat up after mile 22.
When your family sees you mile 8 and mile 16 you will still look happy and great. But once you get into the last 6 miles you will start to look tired.
7. After you finish you will go into the Athlete Zone to recover.
Let your family know this might take sometime and don't be worried.
8. Decide where to meet your family.
After you leave the Athlete Zone decide what letter to meet you family under. Use the Letter "G" for Go Run, so you can visit with other Go Run Members!
9. Have your family sign-up for the phone alerts,
so they will know where you are on the course.
