Our Services – Full-Scope Race Support for the Ischia Marathon
We offer a comprehensive, end-to-end service model designed to remove friction from race participation and optimize the athlete experience for both local and international entrants. Our services cover pre-race preparation, on-the-ground logistics, and post-race performance analysis, all structured to support runners in achieving their goals while maximizing safety, efficiency, and race-day confidence.
How Our Service Solves Common Runner Obstacles
1. Navigating International Race Compliance
Many runners are unaware of Italy’s strict race entry regulations. We eliminate uncertainty around mandatory medical certifications, race-day documentation, and local athletic licensing.
- Impact: 92% of our international runners submit compliant documentation within 48 hours of using our template system
- Result: Zero disqualifications due to incomplete documentation in the past 3 seasons
2. Lack of Pre-Race Course Familiarity
Runners often struggle to strategize pacing or fueling without understanding elevation variance or aid station placement.
- Solution: We provide detailed GPX files, course heat maps, and kilometer-by-kilometer breakdowns with elevation gain metrics
- Impact: 71% of runners using our pacing tools reported improved pacing control and reduced performance drop-off after KM 30 (based on post-race surveys)
3. Travel Planning Complexity
Coordinating race timing with ferry transport, check-in, bib pickup, and accommodation can create logistical overload.
Solution: We deliver a full travel logistics pack including:
- Real-time ferry schedules
- Nearest hotels with early breakfast
- Bib pickup time slots matched to arrival window
Impact: 86% of runners rated their overall pre-race logistics as “seamless” or “very easy” (2024 runner feedback)
4. Performance Optimization Gaps
Whether targeting a BQ (Boston Qualifier) or aiming for a PR (personal record), course intelligence is critical. Our data-driven approach arms runners with metrics like:
- Average pace bands adjusted for elevation
- Ideal nutrition points based on energy expenditure rates
- Split differentials between first and second half of the course
- Outcome: Runners who integrated our pacing tools and course analysis had a 23% lower positive split rate (slowing down in the second half)
