Rules of the Road
Please discuss rules of the road with your XC runners. Some ideas for you:
Avoid busy roads; use other routes if possible
Avoid unnecessary hazards or risks (ditches, cliffs, potholes)
Run on the shoulder of the road against traffic or the side of the road with the best visibility or less risk
Look both ways when you cross a road
Keep your eyes ahead for hazards
Be aware of your surroundings
Ear buds = no
Run single file with a partner
Carry ID or cell phone
Let coach know where you are running; don't go off the route coach tells you to go
Report back to coach from your run
Wave to cars, put your hand up so they see you or acknowledge you
Wear bright colored clothes
Run when there is enough daylight
Stop running if you are lost, confused, or there is a hazard ahead
Run when it is not too hot or too cold
