tips FOR FIRST TIMERS
We will have many first time fun runners or
walkers on Sunday. Below are just some of
our tips to help you make your first event a
memorable one.
• Pick up your number pre event if possible.
This will save time on race morning.
• Arrive in plenty of time.
• Ensure you listen to announcements from the
Race MC on race morning
• Complete a low intensity warm up before the
event starts. The Goodlife Health Club crew
will run all those interested through a great
warm up in front of the stage before each
event
• Don’t leave the toilet stop to the last minute.
• Ensure you are well hydrated on the day. This
means you need to increase your fluid intake
in the days before the event, not just on the
morning of the event
• Start Position - As with all fun runs, the start
of the event is quite congested. Attempt to
seed yourself according to your ability. If you
are a slower runner, please do not start at the
front of the field. As you pass the start line
you will run over a timing mat. Your official
time does not begin until you pass over the
start line, so there is no need to push to the
front.
• Walkers ensure they allow space for runners
to pass (the 11km event is a two lap run)
• Let course marshals know of any concerns. At
the first sign of injury or distress, please let
one of the course marshals know and we will
get assistance to you.
HAVE FUN!
• Bibs – Your run bib will contain the timing chip
(under a foam strip), do not remove this foam
strip.
