Chennairunners is geared up for the 4th East Coast Run on Nov 4th. The earlier runs were from the toll gate straight to Mahabalipuram, a approximate distance of 30 kms. We learnt quite a bit from the earlier runs. This needed more volunteers, coming back to the starting point was a hindrance, few could not locate the end point.
So this time we are starting at MGM Resorts, running 15 kms towards Mahabalipuram, tun back and end at the start point

Volunteers: We need volunteers to help with Water and generally provide first aid cover. I request some of our members who are NOT running to pitch in and help the runners.
Safety First: Please note that we do not have any safety net in terms of ambulance & insurance etc.. All of us running at our own volition and it is important to adhere to safety norms at all occasions.
1. Always run on 'right side of the Road' facing the traffic. In doubt, slow down, let the traffic pass.
2. DO NOT run abreast. Run in a single file or max TWO at any given time.
3. Runners on Chennai roads is relatively a new phenomenon and Chennai drivers haven't gotten used to that yet.
4. Do NOT run if you are not medically fit. Stop running at anytime you feel uncomfortable and seek medical help.
