GENERAL SAFETY TIPS
- Always carry ID! Whether it’s your actual license or an identification tag, it’s important to have something on you in case you do get hurt and need assistance.
- Run facing traffic. And always run on the outside of turns if possible, not on the inside where cars are likely to whip around before seeing you.
- Keep your music low. Blasting Lady Gaga might make you run faster, but it’s also going to make you miss a car’s horn or warning call.
- Wear reflective clothing when there is low light (even at dusk or dawn).
- When you can, run with a friend.
- It’s always a good idea to carry a cell phone while running, in case of emergency (or if you need to order a pizza while on a run).
