Race rules for the Half Marathon and 10k

Here are the rules for participants of the Shoe Clinic Southern Lakes Half Marathon and 10k.

• You must stay on the right hand verge of the road at all times except when crossing at intersections
• When crossing at intersections please look out for cars and follow the directions of the marshal.
• No personal music players are to be worn! listen out for on coming traffic and stay alert.
• You are not allowed to receive any assistance from supporters vehicles! Tell your supporters they are welcome to yell out encouragement as they drive passed but they must not slow down to a speed where they could hold up traffic or impede other runners.
• Be aware of uneven ground- there may be areas where the verge is quite uneven.
• Run at a pace appropriate to your own level of experience.
• You must ensure your race number is clearly visible from the front
