Tip 10: Race Day Plan Joint Juice Tip 1

When race day arrives you don't want to be unsure of where to go or what to do. If you are driving to the starting line plan your route and locate your parking areas before race day. If you are taking public transportation figure out the schedule and pick up locations early. Read the marathon race day information packet carefully so that you know what the routine and schedule is for getting there, lining up and finishing. Pack you stuff, have your morning nutrition, hydration and anything else you need, ready to go.

Now relax and run your race.
