Road Racing

  • When doing a road-racing event where the roads are closed by the police, please ensure:

    • A volunteer at every intersection and pedestrian crossing to prevent people from walking onto the course. (Ensure that this is someone who speaks the local language)
    • Known location of medical
    • Known location of water

  • What time is check-in?

  • What time do unicyclists line up?
  • Will there be multiple waves of competitors?
  • How to communicate the waves to competitors?

10k

  • Where are the bathrooms?

  • Where can people leave backpacks during their race? (a secure area)

Marathon

  • Similar to the 10k

  • Where are the bathrooms?

  • Where can people leave backpacks during the race?

    • If the Start location is not the same as the Finish location, is it near enough to have the competitors return here?

    • Who will be managing this?

    • How will you secure them? Trust-based, or with Competitor-ID tags?

  • How will you handle people who crash on the course and need to be taken to the hospital?

    • Ie: people who faint, or are injured?

    • Do you have a way to communicate with your volunteers around the course?

  • If it’s a multi-lap race, will you allow competitors to quit the course early and get partial credit (e.g. 3 of 4 laps, gets ranked along all 3-lap people). If so, you must publish this in advance (in the program book?)
