Avoid dehydration. Ensure you drink plenty of water prior to the event and in the early stages of the event, before you become thirsty.

Drink stations are provided along the track.

Do not compete if you have had diarrhoea within 48 hours prior to the event or are suffering from a viral infection or even feeling unwell.

If you feel distressed, dizzy, disorientated, or excessively tired, slow down or rest for a while. If you do not improve – withdraw from the race.
