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

Application information<br />

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

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

change any personal details or discuss items sent<br />

in this pack, please ring <strong>the</strong> race hotline: 01782<br />

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

Are you fit to run bristol?<br />

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

running for charity.<br />

Medical information, race number<br />

and timing chip<br />

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

NEVER swap your race number with ANY o<strong>the</strong>r<br />

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

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

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

reported to UK Athletics.<br />

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

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

number WITH A PERMANENT MARKER that is<br />

rain-proof and sweat-proof and ensure that your<br />

relatives (or o<strong>the</strong>r nominated contact) have your<br />

race number for reference. Also ensure you write<br />

<strong>the</strong> name and phone number of <strong>the</strong> relative or<br />

o<strong>the</strong>r person we can contact if necessary on <strong>the</strong><br />

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

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

OWN CONTACT DETAILS ON YOUR RACE NUMBER.<br />

Time zones<br />

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

<strong>Race</strong> 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 <strong>the</strong> 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 <strong>the</strong> race village.<br />

Please check <strong>the</strong> race website:<br />

www.runbristol.com<br />

for final information and advice.<br />

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

Medical conditions<br />

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

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

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

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

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

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

cardiac conditions).<br />

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

runnersmedicalresource.com before taking part in<br />

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

Start arrangements/Time zones<br />

Any Racing Wheelchair Athletes will start from<br />

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

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

from 8.30am. Look for <strong>the</strong> 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<br />

<strong>the</strong> rear of <strong>the</strong> field.<br />

Wheelchair and disabled athletes<br />

Athletes who are disabled are very welcome in <strong>the</strong><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 <strong>the</strong>ir position at <strong>the</strong> rear of <strong>the</strong> main field.<br />

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

athlete, you will need to report to <strong>the</strong> 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 race time<br />

and should be attached securely by threading your<br />

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

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

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

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

Walkers and Power Walkers<br />

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

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

In <strong>the</strong> past, o<strong>the</strong>r participants have experienced<br />

serious difficulties from walkers starting in <strong>the</strong><br />

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

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

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

this activity creates serious problems for o<strong>the</strong>r<br />

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

will remain in operation.<br />

On-line information<br />

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

frequently with information about race day,<br />

traffic, access and road closures and o<strong>the</strong>r useful<br />

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

to <strong>the</strong> race. For fur<strong>the</strong>r information see <strong>the</strong> Travel<br />

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

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

Assembly <strong>Information</strong><br />

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

take part in <strong>the</strong> race <strong>the</strong>re 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 />

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

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

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

Wheelchair Athletes, Walkers &<br />

Power Walkers<br />

Racing wheelchair athletes must report to <strong>the</strong><br />

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

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

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

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

rear of <strong>the</strong> second wave.<br />

Wave Starts & Time Bands<br />

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

DO...<br />

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

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

that distance runners have to overcome.<br />

◗ Do acquaint yourself with <strong>the</strong> route<br />

and where all <strong>the</strong> facilities you need are<br />

located, particularly <strong>the</strong> drinks stations. A<br />

map is enclosed in this leaflet and may be<br />

downloaded from <strong>the</strong> event website.<br />

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

three hours before <strong>the</strong> 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 <strong>the</strong> day.<br />

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

day – <strong>the</strong>y are <strong>the</strong>re for your safety.<br />

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

to spare. Try packing your kit <strong>the</strong> 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-<strong>the</strong>-counter) on <strong>the</strong><br />

back of your race number.<br />

DON’T...<br />

◗<br />

◗<br />

◗<br />

◗<br />

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

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

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

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

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

can lead to permanent problems. There<br />

are always o<strong>the</strong>r 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<br />

this will make you feel extremely<br />

uncomfortable.<br />

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

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

rest before race weekend will leave you<br />

feeling refreshed and ready to race.<br />

For fur<strong>the</strong>r guidance consult <strong>the</strong> <strong>Race</strong><br />

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

Injured? Need help?<br />
