🎯 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 22°C, add 1-2 minutes per km to your goal pace. Hit every water station. Pour water over your head and wrists.
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.
