(1/27/24)
The purpose of a Run Announcement is to give participants the information they need to decide if they want to participate in the run, if they have the equipment and/or skill for the difficulty rating, and when and where to meet.
To post a Run Announcement log into the Message_Board, go to Home > Run Announcements, and click “New Topic”.
Run Announcements should include the following.:
>> Include the leader’s name (At least a first name) and contact info (email address, and mobile phone number).
>> Meeting place and how to get there.
>> Date of the run and time of the drivers’ meeting.
>> Difficulty Rating. (http://justruns.com/test-difficulty/)
>> Indicate run type. (day, camping, bob tail, etc. http://justruns.com/type/ )
>> Radio comms frequency. (We typically use GMRS. Ham and CB are allowed. http://justruns.com/trail-communications/ )
>> State whether RSVP is required or not. State whether there is a limit to the number of vehicles. (Naturally RSVP will be required if there is a vehicle number limit.)
>> Remind participants that they must have the Required Equipment. https://justruns.com/top-level/813-2/
