During the race
Be VERY careful at the start.  It is very busy so watch your feet and those of the runner in front. Keep a steady pace, and don’t run too fast at the beginning. If you get out of breath, walk at a steady pace until you have recovered, then run again.  If you have a stitch, press gently on the area until it has gone away and concentrate on blowing OUT harder. Be careful on the slippery cobblestones of the Old Town.

After the race
Kids need to stay with the adult that they ran with.  Adults need to be aware that it is very busy and keep an eye out for the children – the white T-shirts will make them easy to spot! Put on another layer of clothes to keep warm. Once you are over the finish line, slow down to a walk.
Stretch your legs gently afterwads drink some water and eat some cake or fruit.
