There can be no physical contact whatsoever between the members of the training group.
Social distancing of 2M must be strictly observed, at meet up, warm up, between reps and for cool down.
Please observe coughing and sneezing etiquette.
Please refrain entirely from spitting.
Wash your hands before you leave home to go running, bring a hand sanitiser with you, do not press any pedestrian crossing buttons and if you are stretching do not use a railings or park bench or similar to support you while you stretch.
Do not share drinks, be absolutely careful that your drink bottle does not touch against another athletes drink bottle, do not handle another athletes drink bottle, it is vitally important that cross contamination is avoided.
If you have any symptoms of Covid-19 or flu like symptoms do not come to train, self isolate and contact your GP.
If you have had, or a member of your household has had a Covid 19 test, you must self isolate and not come training until there is a negative result of such test.
Unfortunately no competition (including club races) is permitted. The upcoming Club 10 mile/Ahern Cup, Walker Cup 4 Mile and Clonliffe 2 are deferred. We aim to prioritize these events and hold them as soon as possible. When we know, you’ll know! Please also note that the Dublin Juvenile and Novice Championships due to take place over the coming weeks have been deferred. Updates when we have them.
Please stay safe, continue with the good practices we have all developed and keep smiling. Better days ahead!
