Race Day Tip

GetRunning Race Day Tip: Pack an after-run bag.

Check the forecast and lay out a change of clothes and shoes. You’ll cool down quite quickly when you stop, so put in warm clothing. Pop in a towel and a plastic bag for your wet gear. A packet of wet wipes is also a great idea.

Even if you don’t feel like eating, it’s vital for your recovery to re-hydrate and refuel as soon as you can after you finish, so pack some snacks.
