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 – howsoever 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.

This run is partly cross country which CAN have a incidence of ankle twisting, slipping and falling particularly as it may be raining with some slush etc on the path. This is not a great run for new and spotlessly clean shoes. Trail shoes are ideal.

It is critical to listen to your body and heart and not push yourself beyond a limit especially in this humid season where you start the run sweating. Walk when tired. This run in heat and humidity requires REGULAR HYDRATION to ensure you do NOT get dehydrated or start cramping. Take in some extra salt too. Definitely refill your sipper along the track and glug some of the magic potion (sports drink) along the way.

We want you to have fun and stay safe, and do your bit towards that.

Try and car pool while coming in - to stay green and not jam the parking area around  Club Florence.
