Congratulations for signing up to Claverdon’s Fun Run on Sunday 29th September! Whether you are taking on the 100 metres, 1km or the 3km you will be sure of a great experience whilst helping to raise money for the Friends of Claverdon Primary School - so thank you so much!
The first thing to remember about this event is that it is a ‘Fun Run’ so we want you all to enjoy it as much as possible. Here are a few tips to help you take part with a big smile on your face.
Make sure you have had something to eat and drink before the event allowing enough time before the run for it to digest.
Warm up. Make sure you get those muscles warmed up ready prior to the starting gun. Rob West will be leading a great warm up for all participants so make sure you get there in time to take part to avoid any potential injuries.
Don’t go out too fast! It’s tempting with all the adrenaline and excitement to race off at top speed! Remember, especially with the 3km you have some distance to cover so try and pace yourself so you can come into the finish line looking strong!
The course is slightly undulating so make sure you take it easier on the uphill sections, again, pace yourself.
Wear the right kit. Make sure you are wearing comfortable trainers that fit you properly and your clothes are appropriate for whatever the weather is on the day.
Keep smiling! There will be photographers on the course so make sure they capture you at your best!!
Mental resilience. If you are finding it tough, visualise that finish line and your event medal. Finish strong with a big smile on your face whilst the crowd cheer you on!
Finally, remember to rehydrate, stretch and cool down at the end of the run, you’ll be grateful of it the next day.
It's not too late to sign up! Register to take part online now.
