the course where you can see all the runners. Include one spot near the start and one near the finish line. Spots higher up are better because you can see more of the course. Wear comfortable clothes/shoes that can get muddy so you can run spot to spot. Bring binoculars. Go the bathroom beforehand unless you want to wait in the world’s longest porta potty line. Get there early, parking is often a disaster at these races. Try to park somewhere where you can make a quick exit (I.e. not behind all the team buses).
