But for a race, I'll have some spread-release carbs (porridge/banana, wholemeal banana/honey sandwich, etc) 2.5 - 3 hours before the start. That lets me fuel up without having stuff in my stomach (which messes up my swim). For a tri, that can mean setting an alarm for 5am to roll over and grab a snack in a zombie state before going back to sleep! For training runs I do them before eating.

However, do what works for you. Personally, I prefer to eat something prior to the event (e.g., :30 minutes). However, for big race like the IRONMAN I will carbo load a couple days prior to the race and then eat a bagel with peanut butter and wash it down with gatorade about an 1hour before the race.

For races, get up 3 hours before the race start and eat a carb / protein breakfast. Follow that with more simple carbs maybe 30 minutes pre-race. ...that's what has worked best for me.
