Steps runners can take to make participating more pleasant for everyone!

• Thank volunteers and police officers for their support.

• Show respect to everyone.

• Start the race with others the same speed as you; do not stand in the front if you are not a fast runner.

• Don't block faster runners, give them room to pass.

• Carefully move to the right if you are slowing down or walking.

• Walk in single file or in pairs, do not block the course.

• Move to the edge of the road to tie your shoes or stretch. Don't just stop!

• Be careful where you spit or drop your water. Make sure you are on the outside of
the running lane.

• Don't cheat!! Complete the whole course or accept a ride in. Earn the pride you feel
when you finish by being honest to yourself and others about your efforts.

• Cheer on other runners, a little encouragement helps a lot when you are tired.

• Pick up your trash. In fact, help by picking up trash others have left behind. Let's
leave an event site cleaner than when we arrived!

• Remember to treat others the way you expect to be treated!
SRLA is represented by our Leaders, Friends, and especially our Student Runners. Everything we do sends a message to the community about our program. It's up to us to have the strength of character to behave responsibly and set the highest of standards.
