HEALTH & SAFETY MESSAGE
If it is a very cold and wet day make sure everyone keeps warm, keep an eye on children as they can lose their body heat very quickly.
The course is very slippery and is not smooth ground – take care when running around the course and watch out for the natural hazards like the creek, ruts, holes, rocks, sharp sticks and gorse. The downhill areas may become particularly slippery.
Follow the instructions of the course marshals
If someone does have an accident / medical incident whilst running please give assistance in the first instance and get someone to alert course marshals and other spectators to get help
Keep away from horses located in paddocks close to the course
Parents / caregivers are responsible for the welfare and safety of the children in their care.
