Well, I was hoping someone else would pick this up, but I guess not. I'll keep it stickied for a little longer to see if it takes off, otherwise, I'll have to let it fall.
Stretching - really, nothing beats having someone show you exactly how to do it and to give you feedback on what you should be feeling. A lot of local track/running clubs either have classes you can take for a nominal fee or have groups that run together for free. If it's the latter, ask.
Given the limitations of this format, all I can say is to completely stretch your legs, from your calves to your hamstrings to your quads. Don't forget your groin muscles or your IT band. Stretching your back and arms can help, too, but those were never as critical for me, and I usually used them as either time wasters or nerve reducers before a race.
Anything else?
