Coach Posey from Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children wants to make sure you are ready for race day. Read her tips for a great start to your 5K morning! 🐾
➡️Arrive early. It will be crowded and may take a little extra time to find your group or check in.
➡️Lay out your clothes tonight. Girls should wear their Girls on the Run t-shirt.
➡️Get up 2 to 3 hours before the race to allow your body time to wake up and digest breakfast. A light breakfast, like toast, cereal, and bananas, are great options.
➡️Drink water 2 hours before the start of the race. Don’t over hydrate or drink too close to the start of the race because it could cause cramping.
➡️Go to the bathroom before the race (there will be facilities available on site).
➡️For our Denver 5K – Runners will be released by corrals (noted by a letter on your bib). Stay with your team and wait until your corral is called to enter the starting area.
➡️Don’t go out too fast. Pace yourself.
➡️Meet your team, family and friends at your team sign in the Meet and Greet area after the race. Make this your after-race meeting place.
➡️Stretch! Breathe! Have fun! You can do it!
