As part of the Club’s ongoing efforts to ensure and maintain the health and safety of Club members, a summer route risk assessment and winter route risk assessment have been carried out.
This risk assessment and the accompanying map highlight all of the hazards and potential hazards on the route including points where runners need to cross the road, where cars might come in and out of side roads, blind spots and narrows pavements. All runners should familiarise themselves with the risk assessment and map before embarking on the run.
