Safety Gear: During Autumn and Winter months, high-visibility clothing and a head torch are ESSENTIAL to take part.
Club Minimum Standard: You should be able to comfortably run 5k within an hour.
Parking: Please park legally and considerately to residents, ensuring you do not obstruct other vehicles.
Session Duration: The session is scheduled to last for approximately one hour. When choosing a route, please consider the distance, terrain, and elevation to ensure you can comfortably complete it within the allotted time.
Social Run Start Time: Please arrive by 18:25 to ensure you have sufficient time to register. Sessions commence promptly at 18:30.
Early Start Option: Available at 18:20.
Long Route: For runners expecting to take 60-70 minutes to complete the route (e.g. 9:40-11:15 minutes per mile or 6:00-7:00 minutes per kilometre for a 10k).
Please note: If you anticipate completing the route in under 60 minutes, please start at the normal 18:30 time. The early start option is not intended to allow for early departure after the session.
Short Route: This early start allows runners to "jeff" the route (start ahead of the main group and the run leader). This helps ensure a more even finish time for all participants, minimising waiting times after the run.
Runner Responsibilities:
Familiarise yourself with the set route prior to the session.
Register with a run leader at the start of the session.
Strictly adhere to the set route. Do not take detours to either increase or decrease the distance. Any extra running should be completed either before or after the session.
Inform one of the run leaders who are taking the social run that you have safely completed the run before leaving.
Ideally, run with someone of a similar ability. We understand this may not always be possible or desirable. If you find yourself running alone and feel uncomfortable or vulnerable for any reason, please loop back to the next runner behind you. A Run Leader will always be at the back of the group if you need assistance or prefer to run with them.
Road Safety:
Where possible, keep to designated paths and be mindful of pedestrians, giving way where necessary.
When running on roads, be aware of traffic and run single file towards oncoming vehicles.
Risk Disclaimer: Participation in these sessions is undertaken at your own risk.
