Essential Medical Tips for a Strong Finish

  1. Check with Your GP: Have a medical condition? Get your GP’s go-ahead and send your details to us with your race number. Safety first!
  2. Cardiac Health Matters*: Have heart symptoms like chest pain or breathlessness? See your GP for a cardiac check. Don’t risk it.
  3. Training Wisely: Gradually increase your miles and take rest days. Listen to your body and don’t push through illness or injury.
  4. Stay Hydrated: Drink water consistently and avoid alcohol before race day. Practice drinking on long runs to stay fueled!
  5. Fuel Up: In the final days, go light on protein and load up on carbs—think pasta, bread, and rice—to keep energy high.
  6. Dress Right: Avoid new shoes before the big day. Train in gear you trust, and wear reflective items if running in low light.
  7. Race Day Readiness: Skip the race if you feel unwell. For hot weather, wear loose clothing, start hydrated, and drink steadily throughout.
  8. Finish Strong: Keep moving post-race, rehydrate, and fuel up. Change into dry clothes to stay warm.

    9. Follow these tips for a smooth and safe race. Medical aid is available if you need it—take care and enjoy the run!
