Pack this
- Photo ID and confirmation email for expo packet pickup
- Long-sleeve throwaway layer plus singlet for a cool 15C start
- 4-6 gels or chews, one every 30-40 min after the first hour
- Handheld 500ml bottle with electrolyte tabs between aid stations
- Anti-chafe balm, blister tape and dry clothes for gear check
What you should know
- Packet pickup is at the pre-race expo; plan for no race-morning bib pickup for the longer distances.
- The marathon runs on a rolling cutoff near 6 hours, after which streets reopen and you finish on sidewalks.
- The course rolls hard through Druid Hill Park and Lake Montebello, so hold effort back on the early climbs.
- Aid stations carry water and sports drink only; bring your own gels if you need a specific brand.
- Cool harbor wind makes the start and finish feel cold, so pack a throwaway layer and warm recovery gear.
