First and last - HAVE FUN. Soak in the experience. Enjoy the day.
Run it like your regular training runs (presuming they have included inclines); you will get an adrenalin rush from the race experience that will work to your advantage if you control it. Your time will be faster than you think if you control yourself. Take off like a bat out of you-know-where at the start, and you may burn out at the end.
Get to the start in plenty of time so you can stretch, focus, do the bathroom thing if needed. Have a little something an hour or so before the race.
A lot others here will have other suggestions too - listen and ask whatever you want. The only stupid question is the one you don't ask.
Best of success to you, and give us a report when you've run!
