+ Clear the chute. Keeping the finish line clear keeps your fellow runners safe.

The best thing you can do leading up to race day is stick to your training plan. Continue to hydrate well and eat whole foods while minimizing junk foods and fast foods as much as you can. Foods such as fruits, vegetables, beans, seeds, and nuts are great sources of protein and fiber that will give you plenty of energy on race day. Also, one of my favorite things about a long run is a great playlist! Don’t forget to choose songs with high “beats per minute” along with any other songs that get you pumped up! Good luck on race day!
