Race Day Tips

• Be prepared. Get everything you’ll need for the event ready the night before.
• Don’t try anything new on race day. That includes shoes, socks, clothing and food. Stick to what you know.
• Eat breakfast two to three hours before you start and carry something light such as a piece of bread with jam, a banana, sports drink or energy bar if you think you’ll get hungry before the start.
• Start with people who will be walking/running moving at a similar pace to you.
• Don’t line up at the front of the race as you’ll frustrate faster runners and will get trampled.
• Walk if you have to, you only have to go as fast as you feel comfortable with.
• Know where your support crew is and buddy up with a friend. The best experiences are shared. Make the most of your day by being motivated by your loved ones and encouraging those around you.
• Smile as you cross the line. You made it and your event photos will look even better with a big finisher’s grin.
