Important <strong>information</strong> for runners: Pre-<strong>race</strong><br />

Application <strong>information</strong><br />

The <strong>race</strong> is full and there will be no registration on<br />

the day. If you need to discuss your application,<br />

change any personal details, make changes to your<br />

Business Challenge team membership or discuss<br />

items sent in this pack, please ring the <strong>race</strong> hotline:<br />

01782 396113 or e-mail: bristol@frsystems.co.uk<br />

Are you fit to runbristol?<br />

Remember that this event is a competitive <strong>race</strong> and<br />

is 10k / 6 miles long - please read the Hints and<br />

Tips section of this leaflet and ensure you prepare<br />

yourself for the <strong>race</strong> properly.<br />

You should take your decision to run on the day<br />

sensibly. If you could not comfortably run 3 miles<br />

one month beforehand, you may not manage the<br />

<strong>Bristol</strong> 10k in safety, or enjoy it.<br />

It is unfair to you, your family and the event staff to<br />

risk being a medical emergency, even if you are<br />

running for charity.<br />

Medical <strong>information</strong>, <strong>race</strong> number<br />

and timing chip<br />

The most important items in this <strong>race</strong> pack are your<br />

<strong>race</strong> number and timing chip. It is essential that<br />

you bring them to the <strong>race</strong> and you have read and<br />

understood the <strong>race</strong> start assembly <strong>information</strong>.<br />

This will tell you which wave you will start in and<br />

the location of your warm-up and assembly pen<br />

(corresponding to the colour of your <strong>race</strong> number).<br />

NEVER swap your <strong>race</strong> number with ANY other<br />

runner as it could create a dangerous medical<br />

situation. Anyone who does swap their <strong>race</strong><br />

number will be disqualified from this <strong>race</strong> and<br />

reported to UK Athletics.<br />

You MUST provide full and correct medical and<br />

contact <strong>information</strong> on the back of your <strong>race</strong><br />

number WITH A PERMANENT MARKER and ensure<br />

that your relatives (or other nominated contact)<br />

have your <strong>race</strong> number for reference. Also ensure<br />

you write the name and phone number of the<br />

relative or other person we can contact if necessary<br />

on the back of your <strong>race</strong> number. Try to remember<br />

to do this before you leave home. DO NOT PUT<br />

YOUR OWN CONTACT DETAILS ON YOUR RACE<br />

NUMBER.<br />

Time zones<br />

Race numbers are coloured according to runner’s<br />

predicted times and wave start allocation, to help<br />

marshals ensure that runners are in the correct<br />

time zone at the start. This is very important, as<br />

slower runners starting too near the front could<br />

hinder faster runners. Please ensure that you<br />

position yourself in the right time zone at the start,<br />

which will be clearly marked with the colour of<br />

your number (white/yellow/red/green).<br />

Race numbers<br />

On <strong>race</strong> day please wear your <strong>race</strong> number on your<br />

chest, secured with a SAFETY PIN IN EACH CORNER.<br />

The number must NOT be cut or altered in any way<br />

to reduce its size. It is your responsibility to ensure<br />

you arrive at the finish line with your <strong>race</strong> number<br />

intact. Without it you will not get an official finish<br />

time, a medal, or be able to retrieve your bag.<br />

Do not remove your number until after you retrieve<br />

your bag and leave the <strong>race</strong> village.<br />

Important <strong>information</strong> for runners: Race Day<br />

Medical conditions<br />

If you have a medical condition, it is vital that you<br />

notify the <strong>race</strong> organisers on 01782 396113 prior<br />

to the event. Please also write details of your<br />

condition and / or any medication you are taking<br />

on the reverse of your number (for example:<br />

asthma, diabetes, epilepsy, notable allergies,<br />

cardiac conditions).<br />

Please read all the <strong>information</strong> on<br />

www.runnersmedicalresource.com before taking<br />

part in the <strong>race</strong>.<br />

Start arrangements/Time zones<br />

Any Racing Wheelchair Athletes will start from<br />

9.15am and the main <strong>race</strong> will start at 9.30am and<br />

9.45am. Please be ready to assemble for the Start<br />

from 8.30am. Look for the signs directing you to<br />

your start zone.<br />

Runners will line up on Anchor Road or Park Street<br />

as directed, slow runners, power walkers, walkers<br />

and non-racing wheelchairs, will line up towards the<br />

rear of the field.<br />

Wheelchair and disabled athletes<br />

Athletes who are disabled are very welcome in the<br />

<strong>Bristol</strong> 10k. Please contact us (see below) to discuss<br />

arrangements and any special needs you may have.<br />

Wheelchair entrants who are being pushed should<br />

take up their position at the rear of the main field.<br />

If you are an experienced self-propelled wheelchair<br />

athlete, you will need to report to the start before<br />

9.00am and must confirm your intention to<br />

participate by contacting bristol@frsystems.co.uk<br />

or telephone 01782 396113.<br />

Timing chip<br />

This will provide you with an accurate <strong>race</strong> time and<br />

should be attached securely by threading your<br />

shoelaces through the holes, flat side up, with the<br />

chip facing away from the shoe. Please return your<br />

chip for re-use - Collection Bins will be available in<br />

the Race Village after the <strong>race</strong>.<br />

Walkers and Power Walkers<br />

It is essential for the smooth organisation of the<br />

<strong>race</strong> that you assemble in the time zones allocated.<br />

In the past, other participants have experienced<br />

serious difficulties from walkers starting in the<br />

wrong time zone and from power walkers who link<br />

arms and block their path. Whilst the <strong>race</strong><br />

organisers support your participation in the <strong>race</strong>,<br />

this activity creates serious problems for other<br />

participants and you will be disqualified. Roads will<br />

re-open according to the schedule indicated - so if<br />

you wish to continue after 12 noon you will need to<br />

leave the carriageway and walk on the pavement.<br />

In choosing to continue after this time you do so at<br />

your own risk, and accept that the <strong>race</strong> organisers<br />

cannot guarantee that any <strong>race</strong>, or medical facilities<br />

will remain in operation.<br />

On-line <strong>information</strong><br />

The event website www.runbristol.com is updated<br />

frequently with <strong>information</strong> about <strong>race</strong> day, traffic,<br />

access and road closures and other useful<br />

<strong>information</strong>. There is also a useful FAQ section.<br />

Road closures<br />

Many roads will be closed from 3.00am on <strong>race</strong> day,<br />

so please ensure you allow plenty of time to get to<br />

the <strong>race</strong>. For further <strong>information</strong> see the Travel<br />

Information pages or the <strong>race</strong> website.<br />

Page 4


Important <strong>information</strong> for runners: Race Day<br />

Assembly Information<br />

Due to the high number of runners wishing to<br />

take part in the <strong>race</strong> there will be a 2 wave start.<br />

Please note this will not affect finish times as each<br />

runner’s timing chip is only activated by crossing<br />

the Start mat – so times for all waves and all start<br />

areas will give an accurate record of the time<br />

taken to complete the 10k/6 mile course.<br />

Wheelchair Athletes, Walkers &<br />

Power Walkers<br />

Racing wheelchair athletes must report to the<br />

Start Director by 9.00am. The wheelchair <strong>race</strong><br />

will start at 9.15-9.25am ahead of the main field<br />

of runners. Slow runners, power walkers, walkers<br />

and non-racing wheelchairs will line up to the<br />

rear of the second wave.<br />

Wave Starts & Time Bands<br />

Please check the <strong>race</strong> website for any later revisions. All runners should assemble in the pen that<br />

corresponds to the colour of their number from 8.30am. Runners starting in WAVE 2 are asked to<br />

ensure that they do NOT obstruct the path of wheelchair athletes or the lead runners who may be<br />

approaching the Finish Line (adjacent to the Start Pens) during the assembly for wave 2.<br />

WAVE 1: White & Yellow Race Numbers WAVE 2: Red & Green Race Numbers<br />

Within each wave there will be colour coded time bands that correspond to the colour of the<br />

runner’s <strong>race</strong> numbers. Runners will only be permitted to enter the assembly pen that corresponds<br />

to the colour of their <strong>race</strong> number*.<br />

This means the <strong>race</strong> will be staggered, with 2 colour-coded groups starting in Wave 1 at 9.30am and<br />

2 colour coded groups starting in Wave 2 at 9.45am as follows:<br />

WAVE 1:<br />

the runners in WAVE 1.<br />

Important <strong>information</strong> for runners: Race Day<br />

Race entry <strong>information</strong> desk<br />

An <strong>information</strong> point and FR Systems <strong>race</strong><br />

administration desk will be open from 2pm to 5pm<br />

on Saturday 19 May and from 8am on <strong>race</strong> day<br />

in the Harbourside Village.<br />

Changing facilities<br />

Limited changing facilities will be located in the<br />

Runners Village (no shower facilities provided).<br />

Bag storage and labels<br />

Secure bag storage will be located in the Runners<br />

Village. Bags should be identified with your <strong>race</strong><br />

number, name and address clearly written ON THE<br />

LABEL PROVIDED in this pack. Attach the label<br />

securely to your bag before handing it to the<br />

baggage stewards. All items are left entirely at the<br />

owners risk, the <strong>race</strong> organisers accept no<br />

responsibility. Your <strong>race</strong> number will be used as sole<br />

ID for the return of your bag, so do not remove it.<br />

Please do not leave any valuables in your vehicle.<br />

Thieves do not know if bags left on display are<br />

empty, or if jackets have anything in the pocket and<br />

may break in to your vehicle to find out. Leave the<br />

glove box open to show that there is nothing of<br />

value inside and if you cannot avoid leaving items in<br />

your vehicle, put them in the boot.<br />

Timing<br />

There will be a <strong>race</strong> clock on the lead car and one for<br />

each wave on the finish gantry. Due to the high<br />

number of runners there may be a delay in crossing<br />

the start line, but your timing chip will ensure that<br />

you will be given an exact time for your <strong>race</strong>.<br />

Drink stations<br />

Water stations will be located at approx 5km /<br />

3 miles and at the finish. Please be considerate to<br />

other runners, discard water bottles safely and use<br />

the bins provided.<br />

Medical points<br />

Medical cover will be provided at the start/finish<br />

area and on the course. If you require medical<br />

assistance on the course, please notify the nearest<br />

steward. A sweep vehicle will follow behind the last<br />

participant and will collect any runners unable to<br />

continue who require a lift to the finish.<br />

Should you require urgent medical assistance just<br />

past the finish line, you will be escorted off the<br />

course. Otherwise please keep moving away from<br />

the finish line.<br />

Course stewards and Instructions<br />

Course stewards will be located on the course to<br />

monitor, direct, assist and encourage runners. If you<br />

need assistance at any time during the <strong>race</strong>, they<br />

should be your first point of contact. Please be<br />

aware of the need to maintain emergency access at<br />

all times and observe stewards instructions to stay in<br />

the correct lanes as necessary. For this reason we ask<br />

that you do not wear headphones.<br />

And for the kids...<br />

<strong>Bristol</strong> Playbus will be at the <strong>Bristol</strong> 10k on<br />

Sunday May 20th offering youngsters a<br />

variety of free activities including <strong>race</strong>s and<br />

games and also encouraging parents to join<br />

Hints & tips... for running the <strong>Bristol</strong> 10k<br />

Whether this is your first <strong>race</strong> or you are an experienced runner,<br />

please remember these helpful tips over <strong>race</strong> weekend.<br />

Do drink plenty of fluids before the start of<br />

the <strong>race</strong>. Dehydration is the biggest problem<br />

that distance runners have to overcome.<br />

Do acquaint yourself with the route and<br />

where all the facilities you need are located,<br />

particularly the drinks stations. A map is<br />

enclosed in this leaflet and may be<br />

downloaded from the event website.<br />

Do eat before the <strong>race</strong>. This should be about<br />

three hours before the <strong>race</strong> start.<br />

Do warm up thoroughly with plenty of<br />

stretching and easy running.<br />

Do plan your <strong>race</strong> realistically allowing for<br />

your general level of fitness and conditions<br />

on the day.<br />

Do follow the advice of the stewards on the<br />

day – they are there for your safety.<br />

Do get to the start area with plenty of time<br />

to spare. Try packing your kit the night<br />

before and ensure you have plenty of spare<br />

kit available, including a fresh pair of shoes.<br />

Do write details of any medical problems<br />

and medications (including herbal,<br />

alternative and over-the-counter) on the<br />

back of your <strong>race</strong> number.<br />

DON’T...<br />

◗<br />

◗<br />

◗<br />

◗<br />

◗<br />

Don’t consume alcohol before the <strong>race</strong>.<br />

Don’t come to the <strong>race</strong> or take part if<br />

you have cold or flu symptoms. Don’t<br />

run the event with a cold or infection –<br />

your condition will only worsen, and it<br />

can lead to permanent problems. There<br />

are always other <strong>race</strong>s!<br />

Don’t run in old shoes and ensure new<br />

shoes are ‘run-in’. It is essential that<br />

nothing rubs and leaves you with sores<br />

or blisters.<br />

Don’t run on a full stomach as this will<br />

make you feel extremely uncomfortable.<br />

Don’t keep training hard right up to the<br />

event – you’ll burn out. A few days rest<br />

before <strong>race</strong> weekend will leave you<br />

feeling refreshed and ready to <strong>race</strong>. For<br />

further guidance consult the Race<br />

Training Plan on the <strong>race</strong> website.<br />

Don’t run with injuries - you will only<br />

make matters worse.<br />

Don’t start off too quickly as this will<br />

inevitably lead to you slowing down.<br />

Don’t remove your <strong>race</strong> number until<br />

you leave the <strong>race</strong> village.<br />
