Train Safely
How can you stay safe while on a run?
- Let someone know where you’re going before you take off.
- Carry identification.
- Bring a running buddy.
- Light up your running outfit.
- Run against traffic, look both ways before crossing a street, and stay on the sidewalk whenever possible.
- If you listen to music while you run, keep the volume at a level where you're still alert of your surroundings
