Hi Helen,
Well, with all the training you have been doing over the last year you should be fine.
Make sure you are well rested and no more runs until Sunday. Bring a camel-pack or similar with you as it might be a hot day and you can never guarantee the water will be available when you need it. Try to spend a few minutes before the race doing some light meditation it can be really chaotic around the starting point and a stable mind will help you concentrate. Make sure you keep up with your pacers and don't get sidelined into long conversations as it is hard to get on track again. Have fun, but remember why you are doing the race anyway, not just for a jolly. Carbs at the beginning and during will help also so keep some jelly beans or glucose gel of some kind.
Hopefully you have kept to the training programme and completed your 26 miles a few weeks ago, if not just be ready for 'the wall' which may be around your current max distance.
Once again have fun and do a great race, I'll see you when you have completed it (probably just for a massage before we start training again)
