Race Day Tips for the Tar Heel 10 Miler

The Tar Heel 10 Miler is a Chapel Hill tradition. Here's how to make it your best race yet.

The Night Before

Lay out everything. Pin your bib. Charge your watch. Get to bed early.

Race Morning

Arrive at least 45 minutes before start. Use the porta-potties early. Don't try anything new on race day.

The Course

Miles 3-5 have the biggest hills. Save some energy. The downhill finish on Manning Drive is your reward.

Post-Race

The post-race party on Raleigh Road is legendary. Stick around for the awards and community.
