The Cellcom Green Bay Marathon has been made safer by adding SynChart personal health records to provide secure but instant access for marathon emergency personnel to save your life in an emergency.
You will receive an email from SynChart to verify and add information, including emergency contacts, medications, medical conditions and allergies.
Your race bib will have a Medical QR Code accessible only by marathon emergency personnel that links to this information. After the race your information can no longer be accessed with this QR Code, but you can access your SynChart personal health record, via the Internet, at any time.
SynChart will also have a booth at packet pick-up giving you an opportunity to verify your information on-site.

City Deck
Downtown Green Bay
Join the Cellcom Green Bay Marathon, Bellin Run, Downtown Green Bay, Inc. and the City of Green Bay for the Run as One Boston Marathon Tribute on Monday, April 21 at noon on the City Deck in Downtown Green Bay.
This run/walk event, taking place at the same time as the 118th running of the Boston Marathon, will offer a showing of solidarity and support for those affected by the tragic events of the 2013 event and celebrate the perseverance and strength of the Boston community.
Participants can opt for a 1-, 2- or 3-mile course along the Fox River Trail. Everyone is encouraged to wear blue and yellow attire, colors that are affiliated with the Boston Marathon. The event is free to the public.
The Prevea Luv2Run program helps thousands of children in elementary schools throughout greater Green Bay train to participate in the Cellcom Green Bay 5K each year. Some of these children are from low-income households where the luxury of a race entry is not an easy decision. The marginal costs to the Cellcom Green Bay Marathon organizers to accommodate one child are approximately $10 per child. Consider making a donation that will help a child learn to Luv2Run. Every $10 you donate will enable one more child to participate in this year’s Cellcom Green Bay 5K. Thanks for helping children Luv2Run! Click HERE to donate!
The 2014 Cellcom Green Bay Marathon is seeking volunteers for a variety of activities and services for the 15th annual event, which takes place May 16-18. Opportunities include, but are not limited to, packet assembly, expo staff, greeters, start and finish line crews, food tent staff, course security, clean-up, information booth and more. A full listing of volunteer openings is available online.
With separate routes for the distance events, the marathon needs more course volunteers than ever before.
“In addition to public safety support at major intersections, volunteers serve as corner guards to guide runners and control traffic along the route, so the additional miles of course have added to our volunteer needs,” said Jody Weyers, volunteer coordinator for the Cellcom Green Bay Marathon. “It takes more than 2,000 volunteers to put on this world-class event. Volunteering with family and friends is a great way to get involved in the fun and excitement of race weekend and show support for this community event”
Organizers host an optional volunteer orientation at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 15. The orientation gives volunteers a chance to pick up their t-shirt, meet the director of their volunteer area and ask any questions they may have about their volunteer assignment.
Anyone interested in volunteering can register online or contact Jody Weyers, volunteer coordinator, at 920-619-8387.
