Participant Safety Guidelines

Participant Safety Guidelines

For taking part in Hucknall Harriers group runs

We’re a friendly community of runners, and while we aim to make our runs inclusive, enjoyable, and supportive, it’s important that everyone takes responsibility for their own safety and respects those around them.

Know Your Limits

• Ensure you’re fit and healthy enough for the run you join.

• If you have any relevant medical conditions, consider letting someone know (e.g. an emergency contact or someone in the group).

• Carry any personal medication if needed (e.g. inhalers).
  
  

Stay Visible and Alert

• Wear high-vis or light-coloured clothing during low light or dark conditions.

• Use a head torch when required.

• Stay aware of your surroundings and traffic - it is highly recommended to wear bone conduction headphones.

Look After Each Other

• Let someone know if you need to stop or leave the group mid-run.

• Stick together when possible, and wait at regular points for everyone to regroup.

• Respect other runners’ pace and space.

Follow the Route Responsibly

• Be mindful of terrain, weather, and your ability.

• Use crossings where appropriate, and stay on pavements or trails.

• Obey the highway code and be courteous to the public.

Emergency Contact

Please make sure you’ve provided an emergency contact through our registration form.
If something goes wrong, we want to be able to help quickly.

You Run at Your Own Risk

Participation in Hucknall Harriers runs is entirely voluntary. By taking part, you acknowledge that you are responsible for your own health, safety, and conduct.
