Drink lots of water. Stay away from the sugar, and drink caffeine in small doses throughout. Chugging a coffee, or anything sugary, will just make you jittery and it's possible to overdose on caffeine and get really sick.
Eat small meals frequently, or have something to snack on. A nice balance of carbs and proteins. Don't over-eat.
If you get the chance to, always take a five minute walk every hour, or at least stand up, stretch and do a few jumping jacks or something.
If you're going to nap, make sure someone is on hand to wake you up.
Good luck!

Does coffee count?
Thats the closest to a non-drug that I can think of.
Get as much sleep as you can before the marathon.

Go to a local herbal/natural foods place and get some "happy camper." It is an all natural alternative to no-doz and caffiene...I've hiked further on that stuff than I ever did with coffee.
Plus, it is naturally good for you!!

one way to rid yourself of the sleepy eyes is to massage your ear lobs when feeling tired. i know it sounds sill but it works. no smoking!! it only makes you more sleepy!! if you try caffeine you are more likely to just crash from the sugar...good luck.
