A Great New Event for

2012

Runners from across the country and even

beyond will be hitting the streets of Doncaster

next May as the town will be hosting its first

mass running event for many years. The Brooks

Run Doncaster 10k takes place on Sunday 13

May and will see people taking part in a 10k

which will start and finish at the famous

Racecourse and taking in the Markets area,

Town Centre and Town Fields.

The event promises to attract participants from

across the UK and even runners from abroad. A

Corporate Team Challenge will also feature in

the event, with teams of 3 or more employees

from the same firm competing to win the

Corporate Shield.

Following the 10k event will be a Community Challenge Family Fun Run for children and

families, with all finishers receiving a medal and

certificate.

Julian Moorhouse of organisers, Metres to Miles

said ―We are delighted to be working with the

council to bring this event to Doncaster. The

response has been tremendous since we

opened entries last week. We had hundreds of

people register in the first 36 hours, with

entrants coming from London, Cumbria and

even one entrant from the Isle of Man. It really

is a great year to get the event off the ground,

2012 is a tremendous year for sport in UK and

this event is for everyone‖.

Councillor Cynthia Ransome, Cabinet Member

for Communities said: ―The event promises

something for all, from the Family Fun Run to

the more competitive races - each taking in

some of the wonderful open spaces that we

have in Doncaster.‖

The event has attracted sponsorship from global

sports brand Brooks, and UK Marketing

Manager Mike East was delighted to come on

board as title sponsor for the event for the

next two years ―We have been looking for a

big event to sponsor in the North of England

and Run Doncaster fits the bill exactly. The run

appeals to the new jogger as well as the

seasoned athlete and it‘s great that it is in a

place as accessible as Doncaster‖.

Entry to the event is £18 for UKA Members and £20 for standard entry. Fun Run entries cost £8.

Online registration for both the Run Doncaster

Driving in Town Dear readers,

Denser traffic and more pedestrians make town and city driving far more intense than driving on the

open road.

Hazards are also likely to be concealed and there are more junctions and traffic lights etc to deal

with. The only way to cope safely with all these potential dangers is to concentrate intensely,

spotting them early and taking the appropriate measures to be prepared for them.

Local knowledge is particularly useful in town, but you should never let it lure you into a false sense

of security, as most accidents occur within five minutes of home, where drivers are most

complacent.

Always position your car to achieve the best view ahead, using the information gained to ensure

you‘re in the right lane as early as possible. Should you make a mistake that cannot easily be rectified

with a U- turn, drive on as planned then turn around, making your way back to the correct route.

Advanced observations in town helps you to spot many hazards and identify plenty of useful

driving information. Here are some important things to look for…

Parked cars can obscure hazards. As you pass them, choose a speed and road position that gives

you enough reaction time if, for example, a door is opening without warning or someone steps out,

Spot tell-tale signs that a car is about to pull out: angled wheels, exhaust smoke and illuminated

tail-lights etc.

Look out for pedestrians who are using traffic crossings incorrectly. Many start crossing when the

green man `bleeps` without even looking to see if any traffic is approaching. Also keep an eye out

for `late runners`, who will make a dash for it as your lights turn green.

Be aware of pedestrians near schools and pubs at key times, and near offices, stations etc at all

times.

Give cyclists plenty of clearance as you pass them. Look out for them at junctions and always allow them enough space to `wobble`.

Lorries and buses can obscure important road signs. Looking ahead for signs will minimise this

problem.

Delivery vans often park in awkward places, so take extra care when passing them. Remember to

look underneath them to spot the feet of pedestrians who may step out into the road unexpectedly.

Taxis may make unexpected manoeuvres (u-turns, sudden stops) when they spot a fare. Be prepared for this when driving near railway

stations and shopping centres etc.

Above are to name just a few of the hazards the

list is endless.

If you are interested in the courses that we offer, you’ll

be able to find this information on the Institute of

Advanced Motorists website at www.iam.org.uk or
