Half Marathon Race Morning Routine Video – here is my morning routine for race day. I’m sharing everything from wake up time to what I drink while getting ready to what I eat before a race. I try to plan out what I’m going to wear, eat, drink, time-line, post-race needs and more. This video is exactly what I did, what I ate, how I prepped before a half marathon.

This pre-race routine is footage from the morning of the OC Half Marathon. It was a very early wake-up and I really was getting ready to get to the starting line and run 13.1 miles so I’m a little nervous – but that’s real life! Race morning can be stressful and I get nervous every time. But planning out your run or race morning can help ease your nerves a bit. Checkout how I get ready to run and let me know if you have any questions!

Half Marathon Race Day Tips:

Lay out all your gear the night before.
Make sure your phone / watch / other are charged and ready to go.
Plan out your drinks and food that you’ll eat / drink before the race.
Know how you’ll get to the race, directions and where to park.
Double check race start time, how long it will take to get there, park and get to the starting line.
If you’re meeting up with friends or family communicate where you’ll meet them.
If they’re spectating the race – tell them what you’ll be wearing and about how fast you’ll be running.
Pack a post-run bag if you want a change of clothes or certain food after the race. Most races have gear check but anything that’s not essential you can keep in your car or give to your spectators to hold.
