Pro tips

Pace the Laps
The course is hilly and run in laps, so you'll face the same climbs multiple times. Start conservatively to save energy for later laps.

Snacks on Course
Aid stations have snacks, not just water and sports drink. You can rely on them for fuel, but carry anything specific you need.

Use the Start/Finish
Because the course is laps, you'll return to the start/finish area repeatedly. Use it to grab extra layers or nutrition you leave there.
