READY TO RUN

From race morning to after the finish.

Your start time, fuel and bag drop.
Know them ahead and the run feels easier.

June marks the start of midday heat.

Prepare breathable clothing, a hat, and sunscreen, and save your pace for later.

The distance is short and not overly demanding, but avoid going out too hard at the start with pace, and finishing should be well within reach.
