Cross Country Safety

• Never run in the street. Use sidewalks.

• At all times, but especially when crossing a street, obey all traffic laws.
• Assume that drivers will not see you. BE ALERT!
• Where there are no sidewalks, run facing traffic.
• Where there are no sidewalks, run single-file.
• During a workout, run only on pre-determined routes -- do not be creative with your runs.
• NEVER RUN ALONE. When running on the roads, use the "buddy system." Always look out for your teammates.
• If you have to run alone, inform a parent or family member of the routes you will take.
• Stay hydrated at all times!
