Health and Safety Briefing Please ensure your race number is pinned on and & clearly visible. As you know your race number is time chipped but we still need your race number visible in the event of an emergency. Both the 5K & 10K routes are marshalled and the waymarks / signposts are colour coded: For the 10K runners please follow the YELLOW signs For the 5K runners please follow the RED signs Both the 5K &10K routes are mainly off road and multi terrain. The ground underfoot should be dry but given the amount of rain recently there may be longer grass in places, so please take extra care if this is the case. Both routes are on country tracks and footpaths, please be aware of one point of broken concrete midway the 10K route. Water will be given to every runner at the end of each race, but there is also a water stop at the halfway point on the 10K route. As it is private farmland we would ask you to please dispose of the cups in the areas provided / advised. We would also ask you on this occasion to not listen to music or wear headphones, this could stop you hearing any instructions from the marshals or traffic along the driveway as you return to Wrest Park. As you come back down the driveway to the finish line, please keep to the left hand side if there is any traffic. And finally in the event of an emergency we do have First Aid medics available (St Johns Ambulance). If you do see another runner in difficulty, please either run to the nearest marshal and let them know, or stay with the runner and ask another runner to get help. We hope you enjoy the Silsoe Stride and its beautiful surroundings!
