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 this 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.
It is important to listen to your body and heart and not push yourself beyond a limit. Walk when tired.
This run is in cool dry climate and requires regular hydration to ensure you do NOT get dehydrated or start cramping. Some ingestion of salty items – sports drinks or other solids or liquids is also advisable.
We want you to have fun and stay safe, and do your bit towards that.
