Cost: Free

During Club Activity:
• All activities will need to be carried out whilst practicing social distancing so be aware of members of the public and other group members

• Remember to maintain your distance from other runners when you have completed your effort
• A reminder that there is to be no physical contact between runners from different households at any time.
• Where possible, runners are encouraged not to sit down or touch equipment
• If a leader must carry out first aid, then they will use a mask and gloves. The runner being treated should also wear a mask.
After Club Activity:
• Following the conclusion of the training session, runners will be encouraged to leave the facility immediately to avoid gatherings in car parks / communal areas.
• Runners should wash their hands or use hand sanitiser as soon as practically feasible after the session.
• Runners should not share lifts apart from with individuals of the same household.
