Race Week Planning

The Art of Race Week

Race week is not the time for travel surprises. We've spent decades perfecting the logistics that let athletes show up rested, focused, and ready to perform.

Start Planning

Race Week Principles

Six rules we follow for every athlete we work with — whether it's a local 10K or a World Championship.

Arrive Early

Fly in 2–3 days before your event. This gives your body time to adjust to the time zone, climate, and altitude — and gives you a buffer for travel delays.

Stay Close to the Action

Choose lodging within walking distance of the start line or transition. Race-morning traffic and course closures can add hours to a short drive.

Protect Your Gear

Ship bikes ahead or use a dedicated bike travel case. Keep nutrition, shoes, and essentials in your carry-on. Never check irreplaceable race gear.

Eat What You Know

Race week is not the time to explore local cuisine. Stick to familiar foods that you've tested during training.

Plan Your Recovery

Book late checkout, arrange post-race transport, and schedule recovery treatments before you travel. The best recovery starts the moment you cross the finish line.

Build in Buffer

Every day of race week should have margin. Over-scheduling is the fastest way to elevate cortisol before the start line.

Sport-Specific Guides

Each sport has its own race-week demands. Explore detailed checklists for your discipline.
