Plan Extra Time For Bathrooms And Layers
- Expect long lines at port-a areas and plan extra time for bathroom access before the race.
- Keep throwaway layers until race start if it's raining and cold to conserve heat.
Use Small Bottles And Expect Spectator Snacks
- Aid stations provided small water bottles, Lucozade sports drink, gels, and portable porta-potties; carry a bottle to sip when convenient.
- Expect spectators handing out snacks and occasional novelty items, so plan fueling but stay open to extras.
Crowd Energy Outweighs Bad Weather
