Mobile marshal 2

Thanks again for offering to come and help out at the Serpent Trail!

It works really well for you to be mobile and swap between a few locations, covering some twice due to the two start waves of the 50k and the location just at the start of that race.

Please don’t stop motorists, nor tell runners when to cross - it is up to them. Instead communicate to them to be careful, watch traffic etc please?!

The google maps links below should direct you to the locations or also What 3 Words ( w3w) is a great location finding app that you can download onto your phone and can direct you anywhere, via a 3 unique 3 word location reference. Once you have this app you can type (copy & paste is best) the 3 words below into it and be directed to the exact spot for your marshal position.

Times are for you to BE at locations please!

6.30-6.45am - First, please come to the event venue at Petersfield Rugby Club (Google maps; https://maps.app.goo.gl/r15xRJQ61GKzhizH7 )

  • Come to the Marshal check-in, at our race stores area - this is set up in the club car park, you will see our big trailer and shelters.

  • Here you will collect your event crew T shirt, Hi Viz vest (to return later please!), Emergency Action plan sheet of info/phone numbers and meal voucher for use before/after your shift

  • Please come prepared for a day of marshalling; consider a folding chair, sun cream, extra clothes/waterproofs and some snacks & a drink - we should have some extra snacks you can take too!

    YOU WILL NEED TO LEAVE HERE AROUND 7am!

- 8.15 - Google maps link - (w3w retract.strictest.limits ) - this is on a hairpin, near Bedham.  The runners come down the track to your right as you’re driving uphill, and go through the metal gateway onto the road & then need to make the 2nd right turn off the hairpin.  There is parking here.

There are 2 start waves on the 50k; these runners will be coming through here from 8.20 - 9am or so and then 10.15 - 10.35am.

At 10.30 - 35 am you will be able to leave - as long as the signage is ok and participants are heading down the correct path - and make your way to the next location.

11am - Google maps link - (w3w - sports.herring.bleaker ) -  This is on the A285 at Heath End.  The route crosses the road and goes down the track at the back of the car garage and past the houses.  Please stand around the junction or pavement as a presence for motorists and runners. You should be able to park here.

It’d be really good if you were able to be at this location until 4pm ish please.

When you leave this location you can either drop off your Hi Viz at the Midhurst checkpoint OR Graffham checkpoint or you’re very welcome to come back to the race venue and can then grab some free food and soak up the atmosphere!
