First-time marathon participants, take note: preparation is key. Make sure to get a good night’s sleep, eat a hearty breakfast, and arrive at the venue with plenty of time to spare. Wearing comfortable running gear and well-fitted shoes is a no-brainer, but don’t forget to pack some essentials like a water bottle and energy snacks.
