Race morning goes smoother when the decisions are made the night before. Lay out everything on this list, then get some sleep.
The Essentials
- Race bib, pinned to your shirt
- Shoes and socks you’ve already trained in
- Weather-ready layers you can toss or check
- Watch or phone, fully charged
Fuel and Hydration
- A familiar breakfast, eaten 2 to 3 hours before your start
- Water to sip on the way downtown
- Gels or chews if you’re running the Half Marathon
After the Finish
- A dry shirt and a warm layer in your gear check bag
- A snack for the drive home
- Your phone for photos with your medal
