Running Safety

This event is organized by Chennai runners. This is a running support group. Runners taking part in this event do so of their own volition. There are a few things to bear in mind while running on the East Coast Road.

• The East coast road is a very busy highway with high speed vehicular traffic.
• There are NO traffic restrictions. Runners run at their own risk.
• Run on the right side of the road facing on-coming traffic
• If you are running in a group, do not run abreast. Run in a single file.
• Vehicles are not used to road runners and will not make way for you. In your own interest, please stop for vehicular traffic. Vehicles first, runners next.

Identification

Please carry some form of identification on your person while running. This identification should have your name, address, blood group and emergency contact numbers

First aid

We will have a paramedical team available en route should any of the runners require medical assistance
