13 ARE YOU READY TO PARTICIPATE IN THE EVENT? SOME MEDICAL PRECAUTIONS It's important that you do listen to your body and of course your doctor, before turning up at the start line on 17th December Most medical emergencies during the race occur in people who have not adequately trained or are unwell and push themselves on race day. If you feel feverish, or have been vomiting, have had diarrhoea or chest pains or generally are feeling unwell, then it is unfair to you and your family to risk serious illness and become a medical emergency. Also, do not participate if you have not trained adequately for your event. Irrespective of whatever may be your age or for how long you may have trained, we sincerely advise you to obtain a medical clearance from a registered medical practitioner/doctor allowing you to run in the event. Please review the following questions before the Race Day: Has your doctor ever said that you have a heart condition and that you should only do physical activity recommended by a doctor? Do you feel pain in your chest when you do physical activity? In the past month, have you had chest pain when you were not doing physical activity? Do you lose your balance because of dizziness or do you ever lose consciousness? Do you have a bone or joint problem that could be made worse by a change in your physical activity? Have you been suffering from any sort of virus or fever in the 2 weeks prior to race day? Is your doctor currently prescribing drugs for your blood pressure or heart condition? Do have any difficulty in breathing, especially in cold and dry conditions? Are you diabetic? Do you know of any other reason why you should not do physical activity? Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes No No No No No No No No No No If you have answered YES to any of the above questions, we strongly recommend that you seek advice from your doctor before you run the race.
