-
We keep in touch with Club members who let us know they are injured.
-
We ask members to wear suitably reflective running gear and /or lights so they can be seen by traffic particularly on dark evenings. If you forget your reflective bib please tell your coach/leader as the club does hold a stock for temporary use. We also sell reflective bibs for £8. If you are interested in purchasing one see Andy on a club night.
-
The use of head phones, iPods and other music players is banned on safety grounds in the GP series of races and in many other races too as runners cannot hear safety instructions from marshals. The Club also discourages members from using them during club sessions or at the track.

GENERAL HEALTH
The Club wants to ensure safe running. We ask members to let us know about any medical conditions or allergies and also ask you to confirm that your doctor says it’s safe for you to run. Where relevant we ask you to discuss the situation with your coach. This could be, for example, because of an allergic reaction to penicillin or because of a need to carry medication.
