Marshalling
The whole length of both the fell race and the run run courses is taped at very frequent intervals with red and white plastic tape to ensure that all runners can easily follow the route. Additionally, we have plenty of marshalls out on the course at critical junctions to ensure that the possibility of runners taking the wrong route is minimised. All marshalls are equipped with mobile phones so that they can communciate with the race organisers back at the start/finish area. Printed directional arrows are placed at other junctions.
First Aid
Volunteer representatives from the Bakewell Branch of the St John Ambulance are on hand at the Start/Finish area. Any medical problems experienced out on the course will be communicated back to the organisers via mobile phone held by marshalls as soon as they become aware of a problem. Neither the organisers nor the sponsors, nor anyone else involved in organising the race, can be held responsible for accidents occuring to runners whilst the race is in progress. Runners are solely responsible for their own safety and, given the nature of these races, they must take care to ensure that they run within their own personal capabilities and with their own personal safety being of paramount importance at all times.
Insurance
For all runners over the age of 11, insurance is provided through the Fell Runners' Association who have arranged public liability insurance through UK Athletics. A copy of a summary of the main terms of the policy document is available upon request to the organiser. Contact John Scott here
For those runners aged 11 and under, running the Blue Course, insurance is provided by Derbyshire Schools Association for Environmental Education.
