UTMB First Timer - Any Advice?

Running the big loop around Mont Blanc (100 mile race) in a week and a half and am doing my finishing touches on packing before heading across the pond.

Any tips / tricks that more experienced folks would be willing to share for a first timer? I’ve had a great training block and feeling fit and ready to go but this will be my longest event, and first multi-day race. Would appreciate any and all advice, especially with regards to pacing / night running / gear etc.

FWIW, A time is 36 hours / B time is 40 hours / C time is finish (most importantly!).

Thanks all!

Edit: this is my first time running the UTMB race (110 mile loop around Mont Blanc), not my first ultra or UTMB branded event. Just looking for advice from folks who have run the big loop before!
