Is that the section with the quintuples? (think "hippopotomus"!) If
so, there's no easy answer besides what's already been suggested;
drill, drill often, and drill with a metronome. Work tempo up slowly,
don't try to "gun it" from the beginning. It often helps to memorize
the run.
This may be an extreme, but here's another option: evaluate whether
or not you're truly over your head with that run, and if the honest
answer is "yes", consider rewriting something a bit more "straight"
there.
Good luck!
