Bio Security |
Please come to the event with clean and dry shoes and clothing. After your run please follow the guidance that helps protect our precious environment: · Check · Clean · Dry Before leaving the event check your clothing and equipment and remove any mud, soil or leaf litter. Once home thoroughly clean your footwear and clothing and then leave it to dry for as long as possible. Many invasive non-native species are able to survive in damp corners for very long periods of time, but are less able to survive if the equipment is thoroughly dried. |
