Runner Safety

We have taken several steps to keep your safety the highest priority so you can run with confidence during the event. Volunteers are placed throughout the Kids Run, 5K, and Half Marathon courses to ensure you are safe from traffic as well as receive the hydration you will need throughout each of the courses. Hot2Trot has adopted and instituted the Event Alert System, or EAS. It is a color-coded method of quickly communicating to participants the potential for adverse weather conditions that can affect the race event. Volunteers on the course will use color coded flags to indicate conditions on the course as they change. Color code conditions as outlined right.

Heat Stress

Hot2Trot also will reference the OSHA-NIOSH Heat Stress Safety Tool and use same color coding as listed above. It calculates a real-time heat index based on current forecasts to a specific location. Tool features:

  • • A visual indicator of the current heat index and associated risk levels specific to your current geographical location
  • • Precautionary recommendations specific to heat index-associated risk levels
  • • An interactive, hourly forecast of heat index values, risk level, and recommendations for planning outdoor work activities in advance
  • • Editable location, temperature, and humidity controls for calculation of variable conditions
  • • Signs and symptoms and first aid information for heat-related illnesses

If you care to learn more about this tool or wish to install it on your own phone for reference anytime you run here is the link: https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/heatstress/heatapp.html Please take the time to review these systems before you run. We want to ensure you have a safe and fun run and return each year to set a personal record!
