Race day countdown

Set the countdown date

Check your event, wave or start group with the organizer. Bib collection may take place on another day. Use a date-only countdown for the longer wait and a timed one if you want to track your confirmed local start time.

Preparation checklist

Choose the tasks you need and add anything specific to your plans.

• Confirm your entry and assigned start details.
• Read the current bib collection and arrival instructions.
• Plan transport to the correct starting area.
• Prepare the kit required by the organizer.
• Agree on a meeting point with anyone supporting you.
• Save the organizer's current event information link.

Follow the race organizer's instructions

Use the organizer's guidance for event rules, conditions and safety information. This checklist is for logistics, not a training or health plan. If the start changes, edit Daymark and confirm the update directly with the official event source.

Build the countdown around your assigned start

Enter your wave's confirmed start, not the first start printed on the event homepage. Add the venue's Time zone for travel. Keep bib collection and transport tasks in the planning pack. Save the organizer link so you can check updates.

Keep the kit list separate from training

Use Packing for the items required by the organizer. Use Checklist for collection and arrival arrangements. This is a logistical preparation list. It does not prescribe training, hydration or medical decisions. Review the organizer's current requirements before traveling.
