RunBaaz Community Rules

Stay tuned to the RunBaaz Facebook Group / Whatsapp Group to ensure you do not miss out on information on our weekly sessions. Look forward to running with you soon.

RUNNNING COMMUNITY RULES

WE ARE NOT A RUNNING CLUB

If you are looking for a ‘running club’ then RunBaaz is not for you. We are family first and foremost and are committed to building a positive and encouraging community of creative people who enjoy running and the change it can bring. We take pride in our RUNBAAZ Youngers project and require all of our runners to actively engage, support and encourage our younger members. If you only have time for yourself and your latest PB then please feel free to run elsewhere.

LEAVE YOUR EGO AT HOME

If your main concern is how fast you can go then please refrain from attending our sessions. There is no place for macho macho within RunBaaz. Those that refuse to abide will be barred from attending. We pride ourselves on our 100 percent accident and incident free record. There is a reason why we are called a community and not a club, Community means we look out for each other. You do not get brownie points for getting to the traffic lights first. For those of you unsure as to which group you belong in please read the group descriptions. 

Please note: Although we are open to runners of all levels we ask people to be able to run for at least 45 mins non stop before attending. 

SESSION TIMES

Sessions start 6:00 AM sharp and last for 1 hour.

COME DRESSED TO RUN!

INTRODUCE YOURSELF TO SOMEONE YOU DO NOT KNOW

For safety and social reasons please ensure that you introduce yourself to everyone in your group. We are not a faceless crew and if anything were to happen to you on a run your fellow group members should be able to tell the emergency authorities your name. They cannot do this if you insist on coming down and keeping yourself to yourself. 

If you see someone looking lost then please make them feel at home, a smile and a kind word can go a long way in making someone feel welcome.

GROUP ETIQUETTE

Please respect your group city captain by ensuring you keep within the front and back pacers. More importantly please notify them if you decide to jump up or down a group mid run so we do not waste time looking for you when you go AWOL.

Persistent rule breakers will be advised of other running group perhaps more suited to them.

MUSIC

For safety and social reasons, the use of MP3 players and headphones is banned.

GO HARD OR GO HOME

Our motto is ‘Go Hard or Go Home’. We are goal focused and committed to being the best we can be. Therefore we do expect and encourage our members to commit to regular training and attendance ignored to get the best out of our sessions. 

GIVE BACK

There are thousands of running clubs you could run with, but you have chosen to run with us. RunBazz Crew is not a sponge. Please replace what you take from the project. In other words, please give back however you can be it through time, energy or however else you see fit. This will ensure the continued success of the the family we call RunBaaz.
