BEFORE
RACE DAY
TRAIN SMART
Even if you’re fit and active, a 10K is still a test of endurance. Follow a proper plan and avoid trying anything new on race week.
HYDRATE EARLY
Top up fluids in the days before and limit caffeine or alcohol pre-race.
PRIORITISE SLEEP
A good night’s rest boosts performance and safety.
CELEBRATE AFTER
Skip alcohol 48 hours before, save it for finish line celebrations.
ON THE DAY
CHECK THE FORECAST
Dress for the weather, light layers, sunscreen and a hat if it’s sunny.
PACE YOURSELF
Start steady, especially in the heat. Slow down or stop if you feel unwell.
USE WATER STATIONS
Hydrate along the route and at the finish, small, regular sips help.
DON'T RUN IF YOU'RE ILL OR INJURED
If you’ve had a fever or chest infection, sit it out and recover.
AT THE
FINISH LINE
KEEP MOVING
Walk for a few minutes after finishing to let your heart rate settle.
REHYDRATE AND REFUEL
Collect your water and snack, and cool down gradually.
MEDICAL SUPPORT
Medics are positioned along the course and at the finish, alert a marshal if you need help.
URBAN HEAT
Closed roads and tall buildings can trap warmth, it may feel hotter than forecast.
CROWDS
Spectators bring great energy, but some areas may feel busy. Stay aware and keep to the running lanes.
