Start Easy

Don’t expect to be able to run 5km first go, this is something to build towards. Start with a short distance and don’t feel pressured to run the whole time.

WHAT TO EXPECT ON RACE DAY

We recommend you arrive 45 minutes to 1 hour before your scheduled race start. Reason being its important to get there early enough to find a park and to give you time so you’re not scrambling around stressed trying to figure out where you need to be.

PREPARATION

PREPARATION

Ensuring you are warmed up for your run is quite important to increase blood flow and oxygen to your muscles to help you perform at your best.

NUTRITION

Advanced Sports Dietitian, Chloe Mcloed says you should consume a meal 1-4 hours before your race. Ensure this meal is familiar and you have practiced it in training prior to prevent gastrointestinal issues during the race.
