Bradley Stoke Festival 10k – Entries Open or Could You Help By Marshalling?

Sole Sisters Running Club hosts the Bradley Stoke Festival 10k every year in June. This year it is on Sunday 9th June. The 10k run, which is approximately 6 miles, is run along tracks and footpaths through Bradley Stoke s Conservation Area with marshals throughout the route.

The race will start and finish at the Jubilee Centre, Savages Wood Road, Bradley Stoke with free car parking, showers, toilets and refreshments for runners and spectators.

The run is open to men and women over 16 years of age with a race limit of 500 runners.

This is a chipped race and all finishers will receive a Technical T-shirt.

To ensure our race is a safe one, we are looking for 70-80 marshals to help around the course. Marshalls need to be over the
age of 16.

If you are able to volunteer for a couple of hours and help as a marshal full instructions will be given to you at the start of the race.

To ensure the safety of all runners, typical marshalling duties require you to: a) Stay at a fixed point and as runners approach make it clear where they need to go, by holding out an arm and pointing the way b) Wear a yellow bib marked with the word “Marshal ”, so runners and car drivers can easily see you c) Stop the traffic on some road positions d) Notify the lead Marshal if a runner requires first aid e) Keep the course clear and safe as runners approach f) Clap, Cheer and shout “Well done ” to encourage runners

This year’s chosen charity is the Penny Brohn Cancer Care charity www.pennybrohncancercare.org

There will be prizes for 1st, , 2nd and 3rd male and females and one for the 1st Bradley Stoke resident.

Entry Application forms are available on the Sole Sisters web site. www.solesistersrc.com
