Unless you want your breakfast to revisit you during the race you probably need to stay away from the pancakes, bacon and eggs. A reasonable “runner’s breakfast” would be more like a bagel with peanut butter and a banana. You could also eat a small portion of oatmeal or a cup of yogurt. make sure to hydrate at this time too with water or Gatorade. Whatever you eat you want to have done it about 2 hours before the race begins. Since our race starts at 8 AM this means you want to be eating your breakfast at 6 AM. It is always a good idea to bring a bottle of water or sports drink with you to the race to be sipping on it before the race start.

It’s not too late to start training for the race. Whether you’re walking or running or running the flats and walking the hills or vice-versa for that matter, you still have time to build strength and endurance to take on this race.
