Be aware of your condition
If you have any illnesses effecting your participation, please discuss this with your doctor ahead of time to make sure that you can take part in the race. Please choose a distance that matches your level of fitness.
Nutrition and hydration
If you have a balanced diet your performance will not be improved by taking on additional vitamins and micronutrients. Regular training will increase the energy supply in your muscles. In the week leading up to the long distance run you should increase your intake of carbohydrates (bread, potatoes, rice, pasta, grains and baked goods). While cutting down on the amount and intensity of your training and saving your energy for the effort ahead, do also remember to look after your hydration. Taking on enough fluids is particularly important in hot weather. Try to normalize your diet approximately 24 hours before the race.
Clothing
Use tried and tested clothes and shoes. Do not wear brand new clothes or shoes for the long distance run.
The day of the marathon
Do not participate in the race if you have any symptoms of an illness. If you are suffering from a cold and related muscle ache, have a fever, feel sick or are experiencing e.g. chest pain, dizziness or headaches you should not attempt the race.
