Im entering a compatition for a 2mile race which has 60 People in it. How should I do this?
Start off Jogging then get faster as I go along?
And should I drink water during it? If so, how? Its pretty hard to drink water whilst running. >.<

Alright, I will walk you through this step by step. Here it goes:
1.) Go out hard. Try and keep the same pace for both miles.
2.) Do NOT drink ANY water, in a 2 mile race, by the time the water gets in your system, the race will be over.
3.) Stay srong and don't let pain be a factor. Fight through the misery and remember it is only two miles.
4.) HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!!
And Good Luck!! =]

2 miles is not that long. dont drink water during the run is just gonna make you feel sick, if the race is in the morning drink a lot of water the night before to make sure you are well hydrated. if you have to drink water before the race just sip water but noting over a glass. af far as the running goes try sprinting a mile a see where you stands and then decide how you want to do your race. i usually start somewhat fast for the first 1/4 mile then ease off and when u get to the last mile try to match you mile sprint time

I'm run a 2 mile in a 13:12 I'm 14 years old but i do know do not drink cold water while before or after running. savor your water but i would prefer you don't run with water. don't sprint at first but run hard keep a steady pace, and if its windy stay behind a person taller then you that is your pace to block your wind. at the last quarter mile sprint like Forrest Gump!

From your question, I can only assume that you don't run regularly. In which case I'd suggest you start running so you have some idea and some respect for how far 2 miles can be.
For experienced runners, it's not far, but for a non-runner, it's a lifetime.
If you were an experienced runner, I'd suggest you go out as fast as you can, then run with ever-increasing speed...
The quality of any answer to your question could only be evaluated after knowing your experience level and training, if any.

from my experience you have to start jogging fast till you gain your wanted position then you jog normally then you sprint your last 300m
