As a racer, are you ready for the challenge of Ramma?
Recently, the temperature in Lanzhou is gradually rising. For runners, this year's Lanma has not been easy.

In order to help the runners cope with the high temperature, the Lanma Organizing Committee has made full preparations and added a number of "cooling measures" on the basis of the original event guarantees and services to provide sufficient guarantees for the safe completion of the race.
Before the game
1. Send weather forecasts to players through public accounts and SMS, especially for temperature and humidity, to remind players to prepare mentally and materials. Please pay attention to the players.
2. At the event collection site, please read the warm reminder about the high temperature again.
During the race
1. Increase the location and number of spray points along the track.
2. Add ice water cooling stations along the track to provide cooling sponges for players.
3. Increase the supply of salt pellets at the supply station.
4. Increase the supply of water, and at the same time prepare emergency water trucks on the track to replenish water to various stations on the track at any time.
5. Equip the shelter car with enough water, anti-heat and cooling medicines, wet wipes, etc.
After the game
1. Add cooling wipes to the finishing materials.
2. Provide cooling drugs and anti-heat cooling materials at the material distribution window for players to pick up.
3. Set up an ice application area at the end of the whole course and half course for the use of the runners.
In the face of possible high temperatures, the Lanma Organizing Committee is fully prepared. Here, we also hope that all Lanma players can face this year's competition with a normal heart, do what they can, and finish the race safely.
1. Scientifically evaluate your physical state and reasonably set your own goals.
2. Choose the right running gear. Hats, sunglasses, sunscreen and other sunscreen equipment can be prepared to reduce sun damage and keep your head cool.
3. Pay attention to the weather forecast and other event-related information in advance.
4. Do not blindly speed up during the race, pay attention to your heart rate at any time, and reduce your pace appropriately if the heart rate is too high.
5. Hydrate in time. It is recommended to replenish water at every water station, and replenish electrolyte-containing liquids and salt pills in time to reduce fatigue and prevent dehydration.
6. Do not stop exercising immediately after reaching the end, continue to walk slowly for a period of time, so that the body gradually quiets down to prevent "gravitational shock". You can apply ice to the finish area to restore and relax your body.
7. If you feel any discomfort during the race, please stop promptly and seek medical help. If you feel that you cannot continue the race, you should choose to withdraw from the race, take the shelter bus according to the arrangement of the referee and volunteers, and go to the finish line to receive the clothes bag.
Finally, we would like to say that the spirit of perseverance and not giving up is certainly the shining point on the marathon track, but doing what we can and revering life will allow us to run further on the marathon track. Whatever the outcome, you deserve praise when you stand on the Ranma Circuit.
Remember that the end of the marathon is to go home safely.
