The Forest of Dean Rotary Club are once again running their Spring Trails Half Marathon within the Dean on Sunday 2nd April 2023. 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 16 radios to be
strategically placed along the route. We currently have volunteers to cover 9
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. 08:15 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
three weeks before the event.
