Spring Half Marathon - Just a few hours of your time required - please assist
The Forest of Dean Rotary Club are once again running their Spring Trails Half Marathon within the Dean on Sunday 20th March 2022. As always the Club will be supporting the event by providing radio coverage to ensure a quick response can be provided to any incident that might occur anywhere on the route,
To ensure the whole of the route is well covered we have planned for 18 radios to be strategically placed along the route. We currently have volunteers to cover 11 of the locations, leaving 7 to fill.
Volunteers do not need to have their own radio or any previous experience, the club will provide and fit the necessary equipment and if they are able to answer a telephone they will be qualified to answer the radio.
We meet up in the car park at the end of Spruce Ride, near the Speech House field, at approx. 0815 for the fitting and checking of radios before dispersing to our allocated points. Maps and full details of locations and timings are provided. The race starts at 10.00 and all of the runners will have cleared the first 9 radio points by 12.00, if you require an early finish please ask. All runners normally finish before 13.30.
This is an ideal opportunity for local Wyedean competitors, present and past, to repay all the volunteers from the Rotary, and the Club, for their help on Wyedeans over the years.
I look forward to receiving offers of help soon, as we try to have everything in place two weeks before the event.
