How about a special duffle to hold a change of shirt, a sweat shirt, extra socks, and other sundries for before and after the race?

Exactly what I was going to suggest ... a gentle reminder of your caring but not a huge investment of time and money.

I have not made this pattern but it looks like it might work? http://www.pinkchalkstudio.com/blog/...ottle-carrier/

When people run a race (especially marathons) they have very specific gear they use that they are comfortable with and have trained with. They also don't check anything they are afraid of losing. I would make a simple lap quilt for snuggling with while taking a well deserved rest after the race. Try to use running themed fabric or maybe get a Boston marathon themed t shirt and incorporate that into the quilt. I'm sure she will appreciate your support!

I would just kind of quiz her making an interesting conversation about what it is like and about her gear and the go from there.
