Physical activity post tummy tuck?

I have a 2k race coming up which would be about 8 weeks after my tummy tuck procedure. Would it be safe for me to participate in it or should I not?

Physical activity after a tummy tuck

Most physicians usually allow their patients to return to full activity 6 weeks after a tummy tuck. However, a 2k race may be to much for you at that time since you will only have 2 weeks to train.
