| Running Safe |
Running is a fun activity but running in a race, like engagement in any activity, also comes with attendant risks, which you should be aware of, and only then enter.
Anyone registering for a our race should make sure that he/she is medically fit and does not have any precondition - however minor it may seem to them, that would indicate that they should not run eg being on some medication, onset of a cold or flu, not yet recovered from a flu or an injury etc.
If you are running a full marathon or more- prepare well, for running in the cold, in the dark, in the heat and running with some reflective strips on your T shirt and shoes and cap and arms and a light. We want you safe.
Some runs are in colder weather which should also require some ingestion of salty items - sports drinks or other solids or liquids to prevent cramping.
We want you to have fun and stay safe, and do your bit towards that. |

The runs are organised by
runners for runners. Experience the thrill of a
lifetime as you cross the finish line.
