NB this will also be on the website www.valleystriders.org.uk/trail08m.htm
later in the week and may be easier to read there, depending on what sort
of email you use.
THANK YOU to everyone who has volunteered so far to help on Saturday (17th).
Here
are the final instructions. Changes from the previous version are in blue.
Please note that you may be on the marshals list more than once (in some
cases 3 times), so check the full list to see your locations. If you have
volunteered but aren’t on the list, let me know!
Anyone else available to help, please contact me, we can find a place for
you! We have no official vacancies but your
help will be appreciated.
Anyone on Section 3 or Section 4 that is available to come early to help set
out the course, please contact me.
Maps of the route are on the website, identifying all the point numbers on
the map.
Please try to share cars if possible. If at Leos, please park close
together (and follow the car-parkers instructions!). Also, if at Leos,
note that the busiest time for getting in will be 9:15 to 9:30 so allow extra
time! If marshalling in Meanwood Park then if possible park at Meanwood
end and walk up to Smithy Mills / Parkside Road because there will only be
limited parking at Smithy Mills.
All marshals should report to their team leader as shown below. You will be
given a yellow bib, told where to stand and which direction to point (good
idea!) and given two or three key phone numbers in the event of incidents.
Ideally please print an entry form from the website, then if anyone asks what
is going on, the entry form explains a lot, you can also mention that this race
is expected to raise over £1,200 for Lineham Farm.
HERE ARE YOUR CONTACT PHONE NUMBERS FOR THE DAY, ideally print this whole
email but, as a minimum, copy down these numbers plus that of your team leader.

Section leaders and/or marshals within the section at half mile intervals
should make contact with Dan

- as the first runner
approaches their section.
- when the last runner
passes.
As runners pass,
- please could marshals make
sure they go the right way,
- ensure no issues with
walkers and riders (they have equal rights to use the paths) - please ask
them to walk/ride on the LEFT

appropriately

mile numbers, let the runners know how far they’ve got
- after the last runner
passes, if you are redeployed elsewhere, move there as soon as possible
- if this is your last job,
collect any signs, tape etc in their vicinity and return it to their
section leader, then either go home and take a well deserved rest, or go
for a run, or go for a drink with Dan

contact me by email or on 07775-898-558. But if you are indisposed on Saturday
