- Erica Darthard

🤝 Trust your plan! Taper pains are real, but with consistency comes results. Believe in the effort you put in!
Enjoy each moment. We train months for one day, and plans change. But know it doesn’t take away any effort or work put forth!! Be proud of yourself every day!
-Chris Glover

😁 Celebrate yourself at the FINISH LINE! Head up, smile big and arms in the air!! There are photographers there to catch your accomplishment give them all you’ve got! You will see your free pics in an email from Cap City post-race.
- Torre Summers

🎶 Continue to enjoy the journey. Trust your training, listen to your body and always know it’s perfectly fine to walk during your training and on race day. Don’t compare yourself to anyone else and on race day…please please please enjoy it meaning say hi to folks, enjoy the crowd interactions, dance to the music from the bands/DJs that will be on the course and SMILE!! A smile goes a long way for everyone! GEAH GEAH!!
- Aaron Tucker

👍 It's okay to walk... no one is judging you!
- Mark Carter

🙌 Absolutely nothing new on race day; Lay out everything the night before; Leave early on race morning; Eat the same meals you’ve had during training the night before long runs; Be social and supportive on the course; And it’s definitely OK to take walk breaks! I’m the Queen of running intervals.
- Missy Tilton

🎽 Lay everything out the night before! You don’t want to forget something or be running around looking for something when it’s time to leave that morning!
- Michael Murry 

🎉 Celebrate and enjoy the course! You’ve prepared and worked hard to get here. Smile, high-five with spectators, and enjoy that post-race party!
