Trail etiquette / Trail Safety / Eco-friendly vignette scripts

1.   Passing

We don’t all run at the same pace.

When you’re on the trail, be aware of faster runners wanting to pass, and keep to the outside of the trail or right side where possible.

If you’re passing slower runners, give plenty of notice and slow down if you have to. Shout out ‘On your left or on your right’ or ‘Passing on the left or passing on the right’ to warn them of your approach.

The extra care taken is a small price to pay for keeping everyone safe and happy on the trails.

2.   Music

Music is a great motivator when running whether it’s in training or during a race.

There’s nothing like some great tunes to lift your spirits and keep the pace.

Keep you volume low enough to hear approaching runners, and be aware of changing terrain. When the trail narrows or get more crowded, you may need to turn down or turn off your music just so everyone can share the trail, and run or pass safely.

Plug in, but don’t tune out!

3.   Litter

Gels, bars, sweets, bananas … having a snack on the trails is great to keep your energy levels up, but don’t forget to take your trash with you!

We love the trails and we can all do our part to keeping them beautiful and litter-free. Pick up after yourself, or someone else!

Take nothing but pictures, and leave nothing behind but footprints.

4.   Recyling / No Cups racing

The average runner uses 3 paper cups over a 10km race.

Over 10k & 19k, that’s a lot of cups. Let’s help save the environment racing with NO CUPS. Use a reusable bottle, hydration bag or a foldable cup during a race, and take only what you need.

It just takes a small effort from everyone to make a big difference in the world we live in.
