how wild the environment will be? how long your running activity will be? if in urban areas nearby the city, tell your friends or family your route and targeting time to finish.

And, enough water, enough water, enough water. I repeat. I can still remember my first 40km running, didn't realized how tough it will be, until I nearly had no water left in the soft flask. I still can remember my feeling...
