    My advise would to just start out slow and steady and push hard at the end :)

    Have you run any shorter races?

    Start slower than you think you should. You'll reel in others as you go.

    Find a good solid pace and stick with it. Don't get caught up with the other runners. Eat something light before race like a banana and a protein shake. Stay hydrated and have fun :)
