Pick up your bib, check your wave.
So on race morning, you can just run.
Your start time, fuel and bag drop.
Know them ahead and the run feels easier.
October mornings are fairly cool.
Bring a layer for the start area, and if you plan to race in a short-sleeved top, use arm sleeves to stay warm during the early stages.
The short distance makes it manageable, and a finish is well within reach as long as you avoid an early over pace.
It is a relaxed race, but if you want to keep running consistently, take a look at the Training Plan tab.
