Your 10 last-minute marathon must-haves — get them now.

After the months of training, the hours of preparing, and the final countdown on the horizon, the last thing you want is to forget your Marathon must-haves on the day.

However, when you’re spending the last few hours getting in the zone, and prepping your playlist of all playlists, we thought it would help to create a short checklist of items you need to remember. And as always, should you find you don’t have something on Sunday morning, our Quiqees will be on hand to pick it up for you!

1. Trainers

It sounds like an obvious one, but just imagine arriving and having to run 26.2 miles around London in your flip flops!

Need yours now? Place a Custom Pickup from Nike or Adidas.

2. Running outfit (the brighter the better!)

You may or may not wear your running outfit to travel to the race, but in any case be sure to have everything you need. Lots of people recommend taking a disposable layer to wear while waiting for the race to start to keep you warm!

Missing something? Our Quiqees can pick it up from Runners Need now!

3. Vaseline

Lots of it! This sounds like a silly one, but you’ll thank us later… Slather it over any areas you think might rub or be prone to blisters — 26.2 miles is a very long way!

Need some? Pop ‘vaseline’ into the Custom Pickup field within Superdrug now.

4. Rain protector (or sunglasses!)

We’ve got everything crossed that the great British weather is on your side on Sunday, however a cheap, lightweight poncho or mac to keep you sheltered from a downpour is definitely recommended! Pop your sunglasses in your bag too, if the sun does decide to make an appearance, you won’t want to be squinting your way around the course!

Whatever the weather, Boots or Sunglass Hut will have what you need.

5. Safety pins

You’ll need to attach your race number to your top, so be sure to pop a couple in your bag in case they break. Having it flapping off as you run is definitely not the look we’re going for!

Forgot those? No worries, our Quiqees can grab some from WHSmith.

6. Headphones

You’ve worked tirelessly to dig out the most motivating tunes you can find, you’ve got them lined up in your playlist ready to power you through your energy dips, so don’t let that all go to waste by not having your headphones!

Need a new pair? We can grab some from Bose. Left yours at home? Just place a Custom Pickup — we’ve got you!

7. Lucky charm

Four leaf clovers, horseshoes, lucky pennies. Whatever it is, don’t forget yours!

Left your lucky pants behind? Do not fear, we will have them with you in no time — just place a Custom Pickup.

8. Blister plasters

If you happen to miss a spot with your Vaseline, a couple of blister plasters will become your best friends this Sunday. They’re super light-weight so can be easily popped into your pocket!

Shop some Compeed Blister Plasters within the Boots Basics menu. Our Quiqees will do the rest!

9. Fuel to keep you going

Try not to pack too many gels or sports drinks with you as you don’t want to be weighed down, or stopping for too many unexpected toilet breaks! However, they will be very important in keeping your energy levels up so make sure you have some.

Slipped your mind? Shop some from Holland & Barrett and we will drop them to you.

10. Champagne to celebrate!

Once you cross the finish line a glass of bubbles is definitely going to be in order, so make sure your supporters have some on hand or you’ve got a bottle chilling in the fridge for when you get home!

Get yours now from Amathus — you have well and truly deserved it!
