Running Etiquette

If you are running for the first time in road race, to avoid inconvenience to fellow runners, be sure to follow these etiquette guidelines:

Register yourself

When you are running in a race, you have to register first. Otherwise, it is not fair to race organizers to plan their course amenities such as water, Medical assistance etc.,

Line up properly

Faster runners should line up at the front of the starting line, slower runners and walkers at the back. When you are using timing chips, the time it takes you to reach the starting line won’t count in your final net time.

Don’t make noise:

Don’t carry loose change or set of keys in your pocket. The sound may bother you and also those who are running near you.

Don’t take up the whole road:

If you are running with a group, try not to run more than two together, so others can pass you.

Show appreciation to volunteers:

Say “Thank you” to race volunteers who hand you water and help you in other services.

Use caution when wearing headphones:

While running if you are listening to music, for your and other runner’s safety you should make sure you can still hear what’s happening around you. Keep the volume low so you can hear instructions from race officials & warnings from other runners during the race.

Be careful at Water Stations:

Water stations can get a bit chaotic & crowded. Use caution when running into a water stop and make sure you are not cutting off other runner or spilling water on them. If you are going to stop or slow down to walk through the water stop, make sure there is not a runner behind you.
