WEP Note Number 1- 6pm Wednesday Nov 11th

Welcome to the Wednesday Evening Preparation note number 1 designed to prepare you for tomorrow nights FUN-Run.

If this is your first night to check out the blog take a few minutes to read previous postings from the past week. We are repeating some of the previously posted pointers as a reminder also for those who have been blogging with us.

Over 750 FUN Runners have now registered and that is great news. Many more have offered to Steward so we should have an even greater presence on the route tomorrow night, and we greatly appreciate this help. We are making every effort to make sure your Fun-Run with Waterford Roadrunners is Safe, Enjoyable and Not-tooooo-Serious!

We therefore Ask/Require/Insist on you following the basic rules as follow:

1. No Watches/Headphones/Ipods to be worn during the FUN-Run ,


2. Wear a High Viz vest and don't forget your BIB number. Don't forget your chip timer is built into the number so Don't Bend it, Don't Wash it, Don't Lose it,


3. Run on the path and if you can't get by due to the high numbers of FUN-Runners in front of you, or pedestrians who have as much right to be there as you, then just wait until it is safe to pass. You are FUN-Running after all, (aren't you?), whats a few seconds going to cost?


4. Prepare to stop and give way to traffic coming out of, or going into, junctions: THEY have priority, not you!


5. Listen to the Stewards' instructions. Remember some of our FUN Runners are doing 2 miles (1 lap) and will be preparing to cross at the GARDA CROSSING POINT on the cork road so 4 milers take care if you are passing at this point, and Finally


6. Bring a smile and good humour with you, and leave with an even bigger smile! We understand smiling during the run might not be so easy!

With the exception of Rule 6 Stewards will be making a note of BIB numbers of those who violate the rules and their time for the run will not be posted!

Due to the high volumes of cars trying to leave the RSC after the FUN-Run it might be a good idea to park nearby and jog to and from the RSC, obviously you are very welcome to park at the RSC and use the changing rooms/showers there if you wish.

Our Waterford Roadrunners photographer will be cruising taking snaps for the blog so feel free to smile for the camera and look out for our weekly gallery early next week.

Again, we hope to have results online at http://www.waterfordac.com/ for Monday. There you can also sign up for free text alerts about the winter league!

If you know anybody who still wants to register Waterford Roadrunners will be taking new entries upstairs at the RSC from 4:30 tomorrow, so tell them to pop in on their way home from work and beat the queue later.
