Are there bathrooms for marathon runners?

1. There are toilets in marathon runners.

2. During the marathon, the organizing committee will arrange mobile toilets for the runners to use. The specific intervals are not fixed, and toilets are usually arranged at 7 or 8 kilometers. The specific location and number of toilets will be clearly marked in the "Competition Guide" provided by the organizing committee, and runners need to remember them in advance.

3. If a player wants to go to the restroom during the competition, he/she must first apply to the referee. Only after receiving the referee's permission can he/she leave the competition venue to go to the restroom. After going to the restroom, he/she must receive the referee's permission again before returning to the original position where he/she left the competition and continuing the competition. He/she will not be disqualified.

Why do marathon runners wear gloves?

Reasons why marathon runners wear gloves:

1. Prevent the temperature from being too low and causing physical discomfort.

2. Prevent hand injuries when falling.

Marathon preparation:

1. Prepare appropriate clothing, shoes, socks and hats. Clothes should be made of loose, absorbent, breathable, quick-drying and soft fabrics to help dissipate body heat and prevent friction with the body surface.

2. Wear soft-soled shoes of appropriate size, and it is best to wear sports socks, which are sweat-absorbent and non-slip.

3. To protect against the sun in summer, you can wear a sun hat; to protect against the cold in winter, you can wear gloves and a hat.

Who is the marathon world record holder?

Men's Marathon: On September 25, 2011, at the Berlin Marathon, Kenyan star Patrick Macau set a new world record and won the championship with a time of 2 hours, 3 minutes and 38 seconds.

Women's Marathon: British female long-distance runner Radcliffe set a world record of 2 hours 15 minutes 25 seconds at the London Marathon on April 13, 2003. This record was announced as the first world record for women's marathon by the IAAF on January 1, 2004. On January 1, 2012, the IAAF will implement new rules and no longer recognize world records set by female runners under the leadership of male runners. Since Radcliffe set the record of 2 hours 15 minutes 25 seconds under the leadership of two male runners, this record will be recognized as the world record.
