Get ready for a memorable race experience filled with camaraderie and hydration. While you can take your time finishing, make sure to bring your payment method for Slurpees and pickles, essential fuel in the anticipated heat. A hand-held water bottle is a must, and although phone navigation is useful, consider a paper map if you're unfamiliar with traditional tools. Adhere to pedestrian traffic rules to ensure your safety while enjoying the course highlights. Expect to meet great folks along the way and embrace the occasion as a celebration, maintaining a relaxed pace of around 12:52 minutes per mile to conquer the distance in about eight hours, depending on your speed through aid stations.
