Planning tips

  • Bring a light layer for the start—October mornings can feel cool near the water.
  • Book accommodation with easy transit access: you’ll thank yourself on early race mornings.
  • If you’re watching, pick one “easy” spot instead of chasing the whole course.

Build a day around it

  • 2–3 hours: arrive early, event, short neighborhood loop.
  • Full day: one walk/attraction + event + calm dinner.
  • Rainy backup: keep one indoor stop in mind.

Before you go

  • Confirm details — check the official link for last-minute changes.
  • Arrive with buffer — 15–30 minutes early makes everything calmer.
  • Weather plan — one indoor warm stop in case the day turns.
