Events and Information:

 

·        These runs may be set-up on the streets of the Host city, within the confines of a city park or on a regular track for ease of monitoring.

 

·        If conducted on the streets or on an irregular path in a park or similar location, the course is to be marked every Km.

 

·        Marshals must be positioned so that all runners are in visual contact with at least one marshal at all times. It is suggested that all marshals be equipped with a walkie-talkie or cell phone so that emergency personal can be called in immediately if required.

 

·        Water stations should be set-up along the course.

 

·        A medical examination within two months prior to the games is strongly recommended.

 

·        The two races should be held on separate days. The 10Km race may be cancelled if there is insufficient interest from participants.
