Covid-19 guidance for FRR members attending sessions

Update: As we are now in the “Step 4” easing of restrictions, we do not need to keep a register of attendees etc. The other requirements remain best practice, so we would encourage these even where not enforced.

  • You must not attend club sessions if you have tested positive for coronavirus or if you are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms such as:
    • a new continuous cough.
    • a high temperature.
    • a loss of, or change in, your normal sense of taste or smell
  • You must not attend club sessions if you have been instructed to isolate by a health care professional or notified via the NHS contact tracing service.
  • Please wash your hands for at least 20 seconds prior to leaving home to attend a club session and again and on returning home.
  • It is your responsibility to maintain social distancing of at least 2 metres between you and any other person at all times during the club session – including travelling to and from the session
  • Every member attending an FRR club session will be required to “check in” and register their attendance to enable the club to comply with the government “Track & Trace” requirements. This information will be held for 21 days after the session and your phone number as listed on your FRR membership details will be shared with “Track & Trace” officers if requested by the Club Membership Secretary
  • Please follow all instructions from the Coach or Run Leader taking the session
  • Please arrive at the session warmed up ready to participate
  • Please do not arrive more than 10 minutes prior to the start of the session
  • Please leave promptly after the session has ended. Do not stay around the area to socialise before or after the session.
  • Please consider running/walking/cycling to the session venue to avoid excess vehicles parking at the meeting point
  • Should you or any member of your household or support bubble develop coronavirus symptoms, please refer to the guidance in the England Athletics Operations Guide for Training – Flow Chart (p.13)
