Important Points before Starting○ The Kyoto Marathon is managed under the Japan Association of Athletics Federations regulations
2017 as well as the rules specific to the Kyoto Marathon 2018.
○ Proxies for applicants will not be permitted.
○ If there is an emergency during the marathon, emergency measures will be conducted. Compensation
for injuries that occur during the marathon will fall under the purview of the marathon s insurance.

Health Check○ Before the race, be sure to read the Pre-Start
Checklist, and if you do not feel well, do not force
yourself to compete in the race.
○ During the race, if at any time there are any unusualchanges to your physical condition, please withdraw
and do not try to complete the race.
○ If you have just recovered from inﬂuenza or anothercontagious disease, then it might be in your bestinterest and the interests of other participants for you
to abstain from participating in the race.

Clothing○ Please run in clothing where your number card isvisible at all times.
○ To ensure the safety of the 16,000 people running,
costumes are prohibited.
*This is due to the fact costumes may make it difficult
to confirm the safety of runners and prevent swift
emergency treatment.
○ The wearing or display of any advertisements forcompanies, products, trademarks, etc. at the marathon
venue and on the course is not permitted.
○ Weather conditions on the day of the race may vary,and the changing area on the day of the race might bevery crowded. We ask participants to wear most of theclothes they plan to wear in the race from theirresidence or lodging to the venue, and recommendthat they use the changing rooms primarily to remove
cold-weather clothing.

Measures Against the Cold

Check!

While you are racing in harshly cold weather, there is potential
for hypothermia. Each person should take measures to ensure
they are protected against the cold.
〈Clothing〉○ Please use the participation prize BUFF as a headband or
neckwarmer.
○ Arm warmers, long tights, and other cold-weather clothingcan be very helpful.
○ T-shirts (long-sleeved, etc.) made of cotton might not dry
quickly when you sweat. We recommend wearing a
fast-drying polyester material.
〈Poncho〉○ A 45 liter transparent trash bag with holes for head andarms, or a transparent poncho can help against the cold,and it is helpful as your number card (marathon bib) will still
be visible. If you would like to throw either away during therace, please place them in a garbage box along the course.
Transparent bags with holes for the head and arms will behanded out as ponchos at runner check-in. (details on p.3)
○ Please use the cold-weather clothing collection area at thestarting area. (details on p.6)
〈Hot Cream〉○ To retain body heat, hot cream can be used on thighs, back,upper arms, calves, etc.
■ What is hypothermia?
Hypothermia is a condition in which your core body temperature islower than 35 degrees Celsius. Hypothermia is possible while running;
this can happen for a variety of reasons, such as slowing your pace orloss of energy. Please be aware of this and take proper precautions.
