1. Respect.
- Treat all members, volunteers, and spectators with respect and kindness, regardless of their race, age, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, faith, creed, abilities, or background.
- Refrain from using language or behavior that is discriminatory, harassing, or otherwise inappropriate.
2. Safety First
- Prioritize the safety of yourself and others at all times. Follow traffic laws, stop at red lights, be aware of your surroundings, and use appropriate caution during all runs.
- Run within your own ability and respect the pace and skill levels of others.
3. Positive Mental Attitude
- Encourage and support fellow runners, fostering a positive and motivating atmosphere. We all ran our first run at some point, no matter where you are in your running journey, you are welcome here.
- Address any conflicts or misunderstandings constructively and respectfully. If you need mediation, contact Dan or Club Leadership, who can help you
4. Commitment to the Community
- Respect the environment and community spaces by keeping them clean and free of litter.
- Be mindful of noise levels and the impact of the group on the local community, especially during early morning or late evening runs.
- We're a big group, so it's important to be mindful of where we park. Please make sure to park your car or vehicle in a way that doesn’t inconvenience the community around us. Since we're gathering to run, consider parking a bit further away than usual to leave closer spots available for our neighbors to park near their homes.
- Tip your bartenders
5. Respect The Route
- Follow all guidelines set by the club leadership, including route instructions, meeting points, and any additional safety measures.
- All routes are set by Eagle Rock Run Club and captains for the safety and well-being of runners. Any changes must be approved by Dan.
- The routes are posted in the week leading up to any given run. You are responsible for knowing the route ahead of time.
6. Health and Well-being
- Take responsibility for your health and well-being. If you have any medical conditions, please inform the run leaders and take necessary precautions.
- Stay hydrated, wear appropriate gear, and listen to your body to avoid injuries.
7. Representation of the Club
- Remember that you are a representative of Eagle Rock Run Club during all activities, whether within the community or at external events. Conduct yourself in a manner that reflects well on yourself and the club. Operate first from a place of kindness.
