We will have a car supplying water along the way, but do carry your own bottle. Even though we will run in a group, look out for vehicles. This is just a fun run to encourage you to run a longer distance race. You are running on public roads at your own risk.&rdquo; u00a0As there is limited medical help, ensure that you are fit to take part in the race.
