For Your Safety~


Running safely should be on the mind of every runner each time you head out the door. Unfortunately, the iPod or mp3 player has become a common piece of equipment for many runners. But the sad truth is that safety and music from headphones don’t go together. Many runs for Abe’s Army take place on open streets where runners share the space with cars, trucks, bicycles , buses and other vehicles. For your safety and to help you learn the best practices in running, headphones and music are not allowed in Abe’s Army. We need all runners to be able to hear their sergeants’ instructions, communicate with the other runners in the group, and be attentive to noise and traffic around them. We cross several intersections, run on winding and hilly streets, and are constantly shouting out directions and encouragement to all the runners. Help us keep you and your fellow runners safe! Please observe this rule throughout the program. You’ll have a much better running experience learning to run with others and you’ll learn the vigilance of running safely by monitoring the activity and noise around you.
