📣 ATTENTION SPECTATORS!

Planning to cheer on your runner at the Fairborn Fly Zone ? Be sure to check the spectator bus schedule before race weekend! 🚌🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

A quick heads-up for Half Marathon spectators: If your runner is on the faster side, you may not be able to catch every part of the race. With the limited bus schedule, it may not be possible to:
🏁 Watch the start
🚌 Take a bus to the Fairborn Fly Zone
📣 Watch your runner go through Fairborn
🚌 Take a bus back
🏅 Watch them finish

Spectators will likely need to choose two stops—either Start + Fly Zone or Fly Zone + Finish—depending on your runner’s pace and the bus schedule.

📅 Plan ahead and know your schedule!
We’ll see you out there cheering on our runners! ❤️💙

As race weekend gets closer, remember that recovery is part of the process.

These final weeks can be challenging mentally. You may feel like you need to do more, run farther, or make up for a workout you missed. This is the time to remind yourself that you have already put in the work. Your body needs recovery so that work can show up on race day.

Here are three reminders as you move closer to the starting line:

Give yourself permission to rest. Rest days help your body recover, rebuild, and become stronger.
Stay with your training plan. More miles are not always better. Trust what you have already done, and do not try to make up for missed workouts.
Focus on how far you have come. Do not let one difficult run make you question your entire training journey.
Listen to your body, take care of yourself, and trust the process. You do not need to arrive at the starting line tired from doing more. You want to arrive feeling healthy, prepared, and ready to race.

Trust the process. Every run, every workout, and all the effort you’ve put into your training will show up on race day.

Stay focused on what you can do today and let go of what you cannot change. Trust that each step is moving you closer to race day. Keep going. Race weekend is almost here, and now is the time to strengthen your mental preparation.

Here are three ways to finish these final weeks strong:

Focus on the day you’re in. Complete today’s workout without worrying about every mile still ahead.
Practice positive self-talk. Choose a phrase such as “I am prepared” or “One mile at a time,” and use it when your training feels difficult.
Visualize race day. Picture yourself remaining calm at the starting line, working through challenging moments, and crossing the finish line feeling proud.
Trust your training. Trust yourself. You’re almost there!
