Road Race Etiquette TipsHow to Be a Polite Race Participant


By Christine Luff, About.com Guide



If you're new to running in road races, you may not be familiar with some of the rules – both stated and unwritten. While many veteran runners love to see new runners joining the sport, they have pet pevees about inconsiderate behavior from other runners, especially beginners. To avoid annoying fellow runners (and prevent looking like a newbie), be sure to follow these etiquette guidelines when participating in races:
Pay for Your Spot

Running in a race you haven't entered, also called "banditting", is not fair to race organizers, volunteers, and especially the people who have paid to participate. It's also unsafe, since race organizers plan their course amenities, such as water and sports drinks, and medical assistance based on the number of people who have signed up for the race. And overcrowded race conditions can lead to falls and other problems.


Line Up Properly

Nothing is more annoying to a runner at the start of a race than having to weave around slower runners after the gun goes off. Faster runners should line up at the front of the starting line, slower runners and walkers at the back. Some races have corrals based on estimated pace or post pace signs. If not, ask runners nearby their anticipated pace, and if it’s faster than yours, move further back. Most races use timing chips, so the time it takes you to reach the starting line won't count in your final net time.

Don't Jingle
Don't carry loose change or a set of keys in your pocket. They'll annoy those who are running near you.

Don't Take Up the Whole Road
If you're running with a group, try not to run more than two abreast, so others can pass you.

Show Appreciation to Volunteers
Say "Thank You!" to race volunteers who hand you water or put your medal around your neck. They're volunteering their time and the race would not be successful without them.

Thank Supporters, Too
Acknowledge supporters who cheer for you as you pass them. If you're too tired to say "thanks," show them a smile, wave, or give them a thumbs up. It will make them feel good and encourage them to keep rooting for others.

Be Careful at Water Stations
Water stations can get a bit chaotic and crowded. Use caution when running into a water stop and make sure you're not cutting off other runners or spilling water on them. If you're going to stop or slow down to walk through the water stop, make sure there's not a runner behind you.

Keep Moving at the Finish
Don't immediately stop at the finish line or in the chute. There will be runners coming in right behind you, so keep going until it’s safe to come to a stop.

anyone know when ang deadline sa red cross run? hopefully pwede pa on dec 2 magparegister. patay jud ko ani sa akong mga ka-officemates kung inig adto nako unya dili na pwede magparegister.

i know there are 6 races anang adlawa diri sa cebu i just hope daghan ang manguyog sa red Cross run

[markingomez]

how do you start?
like i have had no exercise for a while
and running seems fun

i know i can just go out and run
but perhaps naa group diha
ayaw lang nang mga pro's(dili nko maka gukod ninyo)
na pwede ta mka join
para naa pud tips bah

una nimong buhaton is to register for a fun run (adto ka sa ayala active zone daghan didto kapilian especially sa Runnr). Now when you register, make sure nga ang imong pilion nga kilometers kanang madala-dala lang. u can start 3k or 5K.. baby steps ba.. Once makaregister naka, you may start doing your own practice runs sa IT Park (recommended) at least mga 3 times a week para kondisyon imo lawas before the race date. kung nahan kag naay kauban, just send me a message kay pwede ko mujoin nimo (regular ko nga magrun sa IT Park) or u may search the fan page sa Ungo Running Club fan page sa facebook pwede ka mag inquire didto unsaon pag-apil nila. accomodating sila and very supportive. by the way, di pa ko memeber sa Ungo pero maybe when mahawa nako sa current ngako nga club which is the Aegis peoplesupport black Panthers.

good luck. see you on the road
