Race Day Tips
Pre-Race Kit
Bib, timing chip, shoes, clothing, nutrition – have it ready the night before.
Breakfast
Eat a light meal 2–3 hours before start; hydrate but avoid overdrinking.
Warm-Up
Do a short jog and dynamic stretches to get muscles ready.
Race Pace
Start conservatively; maintain a pace you can sustain through the race.
Hydration & Fuel
Use water and electrolyte stations; take gels/snacks as practiced during training.
Finish & Recovery
Walk for 5–10 minutes, stretch gently, refuel, and celebrate your achievement.
Clothing
Dress for the weather; layers can help regulate temperature.
Meeting Points
Plan in advance where to meet family/friends after finishing.
Listen to Your Body #1
If you feel unwell, slow down or stop. Safety first!
Listen to Your Body #2
Pay attention to hunger, energy, and hydration signals. Your body will tell you what it needs.
Gel Consumption
Try before race day, but aim for 2–3 gels every hour to keep your energy levels steady and avoid the dreaded “wall.”
