    Flat and Fast Pacing

    The marathon course is flat and very fast, so lock into even goal pace from the start rather than banking time for later.

    Cool Coastal Start

    Typical race-day temperature is 10.8C, cool enough to race hard but chilly before you warm up; wear a discardable layer and warm up well.
