Race-Day Tips

Even splits are king

The flat course is built for consistent pacing. Start at your goal pace and resist the adrenaline-fueled temptation to go faster in the first half.

Embrace the solitude

This is a smaller race. You may find yourself running alone at times. Bring your own nutrition and entertainment plan.

Nothing new on race day

Test everything in training: shoes, socks, nutrition, hydration. Race day is not the time for experiments.

Enjoy the moment

You've trained for months. Look around. Smile for the cameras. High-five the spectators. These are the moments you'll remember.
