Track etiquette reminder

Hi Everyone.  Just a quick reminder on track etiquette.  First off, the track is a shared resource by all in the community so most importantly we need to respect the right of everyone to use it equally.  Last week we had a couple incidents that annoyed local resident users of the track.  One amongst us even fessed up to it.  We cannot let this happen. We will review our rules for our workouts before we start this Thursday but for the warmup please be mindful when warming up in the clockwise direction.  Run single or at most double file to the far left.  Do not string out across the entire track.  If you see oncoming runners in the outside lane, take note soon as you can and give them the right of way.  Also, say good morning and in general, be a good neighbor.  As a running club that promotes running in our communities we need to be the example of good track manners. 

Feel free to comment by clicking on this article to the right of this message.  Make sure you are logged in to comment and then be able to see comments of others.  You will see our regular workout summary message tomorrow and I look forward seeing you all on Thursday.  Thanks in advance on all this.  

Rich
