Frequently Asked Questions - The Running Bee Foundation

The Running Bee Foundation is working hard on a number of elements in regards to our races, following the current guidelines which are currently available to us from the Government, Local Authorities and Run Britain.

We have listed below The Running Bee Foundation’s Frequently Asked Questions to ensure our events are the safest and most enjoyable as can be.

FAQ
- Are the Running Bee Foundations still going ahead? – Yes, our events are all outside so we’re able to go ahead.
- How many people are attending events? – We’re expecting a good turnout, but the venues have loads of space at both the start and finish, so you won’t need to be any closer to anyone than you want to be.
- Will I ‘lose time’ if I want to stay at the back to keep more social distance? – No, our official chip timing means your race time only starts when you cross the start line, so you won’t be penalised if you want to maintain some space.
- Will there be clean facilities? – There will be toilets and handwashing facilities on site, and these will be regularly cleaned to ensure safe hygiene.
- Will there be hand sanitiser? – Yes, there will be hand sanitiser throughout the event, and we’d encourage you to bring your own if that makes you more comfortable.
- Will everyone be taking safety precautions? – Both the Running Bee Foundation Staff and any third-party suppliers will be following additional protocols and increased awareness with a view to keep runners and spectators safe.
- Do I need to wear a mask? – Our events are completely outside and so well ventilated, which means you are not obligated to wear a mask. If you prefer to wear a mask at any point though, that’s absolutely fine with us.
- Is there safe access to the venue? – There’s parking on-site, so you are able to arrive via your own transport if you prefer.
