If you are injured and not able to run please also contact Guy and volunteer to be a marshal so someone else who is fit can run.  Thanks.

What to do

On the signing-in sheet , tick the runners who are running and make sure they know their handicap.

Give a number to any new runners who turn up without notice and enter them on the results sheet .   Ideally, get their running club, vet status and email address.   The next new number is shown on the top of the signing-in sheetGive them a handicap of 3 minutes and enter them in the space provided on the signing-in sheet.

When you are ready (before 12.30 if possible), send off the first of the “add … min” runners, noting the time on your own watch.   After the appropriate time start the stopwatch (as near to 12.30 as possible).   For instance, you send off a runner with “add 1.0 min” at 12.29; then one with “add 0.5 min” 30 seconds later; then start the stopwatch at 12.30.

The instructions for using the stopwatch are attached to it.   Once it's started, don't touch a button until the first runner finishes.

Collect the discs from the runners and enter their numbers against their finishing positions on the results sheet .
