ABOUT READING ROADRUNNERS

Reading Roadrunners was formed in 1987 and has grown into one of the largest running clubs in the South of England.

The Club is actively involved in local running events. As well as the Bramley 20/10 Mile Races, our flagship event, we organise and contribute to several other events in the area.

Reading Roadrunners’ charity fundraising activities have resulted in more than £500,000 being raised for a number of causes. Recent beneficiaries have been the Thames Valley Hospice, Brainwave, The Royal Berkshire Hospital Diabetes Centre, Thames Valley and Chiltern Air Ambulance, MacMillan Nurses and Cancer Research UK, the Chidamoyo Trust, Dreams Come True. Help The Aged, Stroke Association, June Handcock Mesothelioma Fund, Daisys Dream, Crossroads, Britain Nepal Otology Service, The Ollie Young Foundation, The Alexander Devine Children’s Hospice Service, Me2 Club, Sport in Mind, Cycle Smart, No5 Counselling and First Days.

The Club is open to all and we welcome runners of all ages and abilities. There are four club sessions a week, all based at Palmer Park Sports Stadium in East Reading. Track sessions are held on Wednesday and Friday evenings from 6.30 p.m. and there are organised outruns on Thursday evenings and Sunday

mornings (races permitting!)

The many benefits of membership include:

• Training with fellow members

• A monthly club newsletter

• 10% discount on sports equipment at local sports shops such as The Sweatshop

• Cheaper entry to races through the Club’s affiliation to the sport’s governing bodies

• Social events

• Club coaches available for help and guidance

• Cross country league fixtures for all those who want to take part

8. Running Numbers and ChipsMake sure your race number is securely fastened to the front of your vest with 4 safety pins, one in each corner (available from the Information Desk). Do not cover your number with another layer of clothing or wear it on a layer that may be discarded during the race. FAILURE TO DISPLAY YOUR NUMBER AT THE FINISH MAY PREVENT US FROM RECORDING YOUR PLACE AND TIME. Numbers should NOT be folded, cut down or defaced in any way - this may lead to disqualification.

Please do not give your number to another runner without letting the information desk know - it can result in confusion and disqualification.

There are two sets of race numbers - 10 mile race numbers have a yellow background and the 20 mile race numbers have a blue background. If you have the wrong type of race number, please contact the Information desk as early as possible on Race Day. Please remember to complete the medical template on the reverse of your number.

The race will be chip timed, the chip will be integral to your number – please do not remove this.

9. Changing DistanceIf you wish to change distance please notify the Entries Secretary prior to 9th February. No amendments can be made on race day. An extra fee may be payable. You cannot change distances once the race has started. The 20 mile and 10 mile races are separate events. Your finishing place and time will be recorded only for the event for which you have entered, and you will therefore not be eligible for a prize at the other distance.

10. The RouteThe route comprises one circuit for the 10 mile race and two circuits for the 20 mile race. The route is mainly on rural roads which will not be closed to traffic. There will be a lead car, and marshals will be strategically placed to guide you - FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY PLEASE FOLLOW THEIR ADVICE.

11. Course SafetyUnder UKA rules for your own safety you must keep to the left hand side of the road (unless instructed otherwise by marshals or Police). There are certain crossings where the marshals will direct you across the line of traffic - follow their instructions. Spectators must not follow the race by bicycles, skates, scooters, motorbike or car. Remember, no dogs or buggies in the race, please. AS THE RACE IS NOT CLOSED TO TRAFFIC WE WOULD LIKE TO REMIND ALL COMPETITORS THAT THE USE OF IPODS AND OTHER PERSONAL MUSIC EQUIPMENT IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED DURING THE RACE FOR REASONS OF SAFETY. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT COMPETITORS CAN HEAR MARSHALLS DIRECTIONS. The race is not suitable for wheelchairs.

If your anticipated finish time is over 4 hours please let the Information Desk know as the course closes at 2.30pm and will no longer be marshalled.

12. Referee / Time KeepingThe official referee and race adjudicator is Richard Whybrow. There will be accurate mile markers on the course for both races. The time will be displayed on a digital clock on the lead car and at the finish.

13. Drinks StationWater will be available at four drinks stations on the route (see map). Water will be available at the finish, and hot drinks and squash will be on sale in the school hall.

In addition, there will be glucose drinks at the drinks station at the 5/10/15 mile point. Ensure that you are prepared with specific energy supplements and drinks if you are likely to need them. Please make sure you take enough fluid on board to avoid dehydration, which can occur even on a cold day.

ABOUT READING ROADRUNNERS

Reading Roadrunners was formed in 1987 and has grown into one of the largest running clubs in the South of England.

The Club is actively involved in local running events. As well as the Bramley 20/10 Mile Races, our flagship event, we organise and contribute to several other events in the area.

Reading Roadrunners’ charity fundraising activities have resulted in more than £500,000 being raised for a number of causes. Recent beneficiaries have been the Thames Valley Hospice, Brainwave, The Royal Berkshire Hospital Diabetes Centre, Thames Valley and Chiltern Air Ambulance, MacMillan Nurses and Cancer Research UK, the Chidamoyo Trust, Dreams Come True. Help The Aged, Stroke Association, June Handcock Mesothelioma Fund, Daisys Dream, Crossroads, Britain Nepal Otology Service, The Ollie Young Foundation, The Alexander Devine Children’s Hospice Service, Me2 Club, Sport in Mind, Cycle Smart, No5 Counselling and First Days.

The Club is open to all and we welcome runners of all ages and abilities. There are four club sessions a week, all based at Palmer Park Sports Stadium in East Reading. Track sessions are held on Wednesday and Friday evenings from 6.30 p.m. and there are organised outruns on Thursday evenings and Sunday

mornings (races permitting!)

The many benefits of membership include:

• Training with fellow members

• A monthly club newsletter

• 10% discount on sports equipment at local sports shops such as The Sweatshop

• Cheaper entry to races through the Club’s affiliation to the sport’s governing bodies

• Social events

• Club coaches available for help and guidance

• Cross country league fixtures for all those who want to take part
