Here are some important notes:
- ⏰ Be on time, 7:50am if you're new. 7:55 for general briefing, 8am we're ready, set, GO!
- Self seed, fast moving parkrunners in front, less fast from middle to back to avoid congestion.
- Keep to the left, overtake on the right, except for the last dog leg, where we keep to the right.
- Be respectful and kind to other park users.
- 👧🏼🧒🏽 children under 11 should be within arms reach of a responsible adult
- 🐕 one dog per participant in a short lead
