Important <strong>information</strong> for <strong>runner</strong>s: Pre-race<br />
Application <strong>information</strong><br />
The race 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 race hotline<br />
on 01782 396113 or e-mail<br />
bristol@frsystems.co.uk.<br />
Are you fit to runbristol<br />
Remember that this event is a competitive race 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 race 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>, race number<br />
and ChampionChip<br />
The most important items in this race pack are your<br />
race number and ChampionChip. It is essential that<br />
you bring them to the race and you have read and<br />
understood the race 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 race number).<br />
NEVER swap your race number with ANY other<br />
<strong>runner</strong> as it could create a dangerous medical<br />
situation. Anyone who does swap their race<br />
number will be disqualified from this race 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 race<br />
number WITH A PERMANENT MARKER and ensure<br />
that your relatives (or other contactable person)<br />
have your race 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 race 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 <strong>runner</strong>’s<br />
predicted times and Wave Start allocation, to help<br />
marshals ensure that <strong>runner</strong>s are in the correct<br />
time zone at the start. This is very important, as<br />
slower <strong>runner</strong>s starting too near the front could<br />
hinder faster <strong>runner</strong>s. 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 race day please wear your race 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 race 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 race village.<br />

Important <strong>information</strong> for <strong>runner</strong>s: Race Day<br />
Medical conditions<br />
If you have a medical condition, it is vital that you<br />
notify the race 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.<strong>runner</strong>smedicalresource.com before taking<br />
part in the race.<br />
Start arrangements/Time zones<br />
Any Racing Wheelchair Athletes will start from<br />
9.15am and the main race 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, slow <strong>runner</strong>s,<br />
power walkers, walkers and non-racing wheelchairs,<br />
will line up towards the 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 us at<br />
bristol@frsystems.co.uk or<br />
telephone 01782 396113.<br />
ChampionChip timing<br />
This will provide you with an accurate race 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 race.<br />
Walkers and Power Walkers<br />
It is essential for the smooth organisation of the<br />
race 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 race<br />
organisers support your participation in the race,<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 race organisers<br />
cannot guarantee that any race, or medical facilities<br />
will remain.<br />
On-line <strong>information</strong><br />
The event website www.bristolhalfmarathon.com is<br />
updated frequently with <strong>information</strong> about race<br />
day, traffic, access and road closures and other<br />
useful <strong>information</strong>. There is also a useful FAQ<br />
section developed by <strong>runner</strong>s.<br />
Road closures<br />
Many roads will be closed from 3.00am on race day,<br />
so please ensure you allow plenty of time to get to<br />
the race. For further <strong>information</strong> see the Travel<br />
Information pages or the race website.<br />

Important <strong>information</strong> for <strong>runner</strong>s: Race Day<br />
Assembly Information<br />
Due to the high number of <strong>runner</strong>s wishing to<br />
take part in the race there will be a 2 wave start.<br />
Please note this will not affect finish times as each<br />
<strong>runner</strong>’s ChampionChip is only activated by<br />
crossing the Start mat – so times for all waves and<br />
all start areas will give an accurate record of the<br />
time taken to complete the 10k/6 mile course.<br />

to the colour of their race number*.<br />
This means the race will be staggered, with 2 colour-coded groups starting in Wave 1 at 9.30am and<br />

Important <strong>information</strong> for <strong>runner</strong>s: Race Day<br />
Race entry <strong>information</strong> desk<br />
An <strong>information</strong> point and FR Systems race<br />
administration desk will be open from 2pm to 5pm<br />
on Saturday 14 May and from 8am on race day<br />
in the Event Village (Millennium Square).<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 race<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 race organisers accept no<br />
responsibility. Your race 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 race clock on the lead car and one for<br />
each wave on the finish gantry. Due to the high<br />
number of <strong>runner</strong>s there may be a delay in crossing<br />
the start line, but your ChampionChip will ensure<br />
that you will be given an exact time for your race.<br />
Drink stations<br />
Water stations will be located at approx 5km /<br />
3 miles and at the finish. An energy drink station<br />
will be located at the finish. Please be considerate to<br />
other <strong>runner</strong>s, 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 <strong>runner</strong>s 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 <strong>runner</strong>s. If you<br />
need assistance at any time during the race, 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<br />
in the correct lanes as necessary. For this reason we<br />
ask that you do not wear headphones.<br />
Finish<br />
At the end of the race <strong>runner</strong>s will pass under the<br />
finish gantry and are then offered a medal, foil<br />
blanket and water. Please keep moving as quickly<br />
as possible through this area before exiting into the<br />
Harbourside Village area where bins will be<br />
available to return your ChampionChip.<br />

Hints & tips... for running the <strong>Bristol</strong> 10k<br />
Whether this is your first race or you are an experienced <strong>runner</strong>,<br />
please remember these helpful tips over race weekend.<br />
Do drink plenty of fluids before the start of<br />
the race. Dehydration is the biggest problem<br />
that distance <strong>runner</strong>s 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 race. This should be about<br />
three hours before the race start.<br />
Do warm up thoroughly with plenty of<br />
stretching and easy running.<br />
Do plan your race 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 race number.<br />
DON’T...<br />

◗<br />
◗<br />
Don’t consume alcohol before the race.<br />
Don’t come to the race 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 races!<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 race weekend will leave you<br />
feeling refreshed and ready to race. For<br />
further guidance consult the Race<br />
Training Plan on the race 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 race number until<br />
you leave the race village.<br />
