Porridge early in the morning, add a bit of honey or sommat.
If you are a habitual morning dumper, maybe have an early strong coffee to make sure that you get your dumping over with well before the race. You really don't want to be queueing at the portaloos.
Other than that, don't eat anything else .... what you don't want is an insulin spike just before you run. You really don't need any more carbs or sugars for a 10k.
Certainly don't drink a pint of water shortly before running ... unless you want a stitch. You don't need it and you don't need the extra weight.
Main thing is, don't stress/worry about it. Sleep well. Go into it relaxed and try to enjoy the camaraderie of the race (which you can actually have at the 55 min pace mark).
I coach some pretty decent road runners and they all over-think.
