Blaine Moore, author of the excellent Run To Win web site, has devised a very useful Pre-Race Checklist Generator – ideal if you’re one of those runners who find themselves running around the night before or morning of a race with nothing prepared.
The checklist is split into 4 sections and contains a default list of items you may or may not need for a race. The 4 columns are: Pre-Race Bag, Post-Race Bag, Luggage and Unlisted Items.
Once in the generator, you can edit any field by double clicking on it, re-sort the list by dragging an item where you want it, drag items between lists, drag items to “Unlisted Items” to remove them from your checklist and drag items outside of a specific bag to delete it altogether.
Once you’re happy with your list, simply click on one of the “Generate Checklist” buttons to create a nice pdf of your checklist. You’ll never be unprepared for a race again!
Update 7/28/15 – it appears that Blaine’s Pre-Race Checklist Generator has been taken offline.
