Kit and pacing

What it means

  • Warm: adjust your goal pace

    Around 26°C on race morning costs most runners time. Plan to run a few seconds per kilometer slower than in cool weather, take on fluid and salt at every station, and wear light colors and sun cream.

  • Be ready for rain

    It rained on 9 of the last 10 race mornings. A bin bag or cheap poncho keeps you dry in the start pen; anti-chafe balm and socks that don't hold water help over the distance, and a cap keeps rain out of your eyes.

  • Humid mornings

    Humidity is usually around 85%, so sweat evaporates slowly and it feels warmer than the thermometer says. Pace on effort, not just the watch.
