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.
Respect the heat
At 24°C, add 1-2 minutes per km to your goal pace. Hit every water station. Pour water over your head and wrists.
Ride the energy
With ≈ 27 500 (uppskattning) runners, the atmosphere will be electric. Use the crowd energy but don't let it push you too fast early on.
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.
