This is a 4 Stage Trail Run, following written descriptions, maps, and footpath ‘Way Markers’ along the route of the Roach Valley Way long distance footpath (23 miles). Each of the separate stages, will be treated as a standalone Trail Run with its own start times and marshal coordinators. There will be minimal marshals on the route, and it will be the runners responsibility to navigate their way along the route following the Roach Valley signage in place and using route maps and description provided on-line and at each stage start. As it is the first year for the event there will be some additional signage in place to supplement existing way markers.
The 'spirit' of the
race is low-key, friendly and cooperative, all competitors should
try to support other runners and call them back if they are going
off-route and all supporters should assist members of other teams
if necessary.
There will be roving
marshals for each stage, who’s responsibility will be to marshal
road crossings, and place “Caution Runner” signs to warn traffic of
potential runners as required. ( See yellow triangles on route maps
for position ).
Each stage will have
its own marshal team who will book each team in at the start of the
leg, provide roving marshals as required, time each leg recording
finish positions and times for each team, and make sure all teams
have been accounted for before closing the leg. All stage marshals
will be in contact with the overall event coordinator so they can
coordinate any actions required should there be an incident during
a stage.
