Don’t forget any item before you leave for a marathon travel
Haven’t you ever felt helpless, before a race or after one because you have left a item at home that you now badly need ?
I always loved to read and use pre-travel checking list. They are quite useful when you travel overseas. And they are all the more useful when you travel to run a marathon.
You can find many travel checklist on the Internet. My preference goes to the Onebag.com One page travel checklist.
Blaine Moore, the author of the Run to win blog, has created a very useful checklist dedicated to runners. It helps listing all the items you may need at different moments of your journey :
- Pre-race bag
- post-race bag
- luggage
It is not a fixed list, but a real tool that enables you to edit the list and personalize it according to your needs. You can :
- Reorder items
- Change the label of Items
- Add Items
- Move an item from one list to another…
The list will be generated as a PDF file that you will be able to print and finally check.
This is a tool I certainly will use for my next marathon. You should give it a try too. Great job Blaine !
Thanks letting your readers know about it! I’m glad that you found it useful.
I’m looking forward to my next race as well. This is something that I’ve written out long hand for the past few years, and I always have to go back and look up a few articles I’d written to make sure I put everything I wanted onto my list.
Now that I made this tool, I can just save the list once and always get back to it and make minor race specific tweaks. Only 1 more month until I get my own use out of it!
You’re welcome Blaine. What race are you going to run next month ?
