Guide Runners

On Tuesday evening club runs, each of the distance or pace groups will be accompanied by one or more Guide Runners. Their aim? To direct, manage and ensure the safety of the group. Shepherds! 

The plan is for two or more Guide Runners to run with 6km and 8km groups (front and back), and one or more for the full distance group (near back).

Having a Guide Runner with each group provides a means of maintaining runners safety, with each carrying  basic first aid equipment and a mobile phone.

If you would like to volunteer as a Guide Runner, please email Graeme on membership@saffronstriders.org.uk

What we expect of all Striders who take part on a Tuesday evening club run. Thank you!

• Arrive with Hi Vis top if dark and head/chest torches if possible. These can help navigate uneven or unlit pavements.
• Run only if fit and healthy.
• Choose a distance you can run and still be back at LB by 9pm.
• Find out who your Guide Runner is.
• Make an effort to learn the routes around Town.
• Keep Guide Runner informed of any issues. If you need help, ask for it!
• It is essential you tell your Guide Runner if you are cutting out of group, although we would prefer everyone to run back to LB before heading home.
