The weather in Erode is generally pleasant, with temperatures of 25 to 32 degrees C. However, humidity may be as high as 50%. Sudden showers may be expected, and they are usually short. Runners are requested to dress appropriately and ensure they are sufficiently hydrated throughout the course.
There have been sudden showers few hours before the start time at the previous edition of Erode Marathon. The event went ahead despite these as they were manageable. Calling off the event due to unfavorable weather is at the discretion of the organizers. We believe that the well-being of the runners is priority and any weather conditions which necessitate the race being called off will be deliberated thoroughly by the organizers before a decision is taken. There will be no refund of the registration fee in case the race is called off due to weather or any other acts of God (force majeure clauses) and the decision of the Race Director is final in this regard.
There will be aid stations clearly marked out and available at approximately every 2.5 kms of the course. The aid stations will have water, isotonic sports drinks, fruits, salt etc. They would also have basic first aid facilities (such as band-aid and pain relief spray). We request you to dispose of all trash in garbage bins/ bags stationed near the aid stations.
Ambulances will be available for any emergency support covering the entire route. Doctor and Physiotherapist shall be present at the venue and at the some of the Aid Station. First Aid volunteers shall be available along the route. Route Marshals who will patrol the course on bicycles and volunteers on road can also assist you in case of fatigued, dehydration or too tired to continue.
