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 />

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 />

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 />
