Ratio Announcement  

(How many Participants We Can Accept at the moment)

 

As mentioned; we are monitoring registration to secure a safe ratio of volunteer to participants.

 

 It is required to have 1 trained lead volunteer for every 15 participants. Each group of 15 must have AT LEAST 2 volunteers at all times to go out for a run (1 volunteer to lead and 1 to follow). We also try to have as many helping hands as possible to have a safe & effective practice. We also always need extra volunteers to help complete the schedule in which days other volunteers may be scheduled absent.

 

The #s below are based on the committed volunteers that we have and what we need to have ideal (safe & effective) size running groups and to hopefully be able to expand participant #s too.
