On the Day

Here is a simple check-list to follow on the day:

• partecipanti alll dovrebbero essere forniti con una copia della mappa evidenziando punti di controllo e punti di ristoro. Give a verbal outline of the route and the plan for the event
• Ensure participants are aware of appropriate clothing / equipment that is required – don’t be afraid to turn people away who are inadequately prepared, have unsafe equipment or have turned up without equipment (if necessary)
• Introduce the ‘event team’ – leader, sweeper, backmarker and support staff
• Remind participants of the Trail user code and ask participants to ‘share with care’ during the event
• If the weather takes a turn for the worse, don’t be afraid to cancel your event or extend the planned refreshment stops
• Every effort should be made during the event not to cause any damage to the Trail or its infrastructure. Any such damaged should be reported to the TPT office immediately
• At the end of the event ensure everyone is accounted for
• Nominate someone to be a photographer for your event
