Observations, updates and note to self

  • Live timing on iPads didn't work for the first time despite multiple testing. See what happened
  • Make a playlist of 50 songs to play at random, so that nobody needs to change the music
  • Make the waiver more comprehensive and start archiving signed waivers, so that people who have already signed don't need to again
  • Have a buffer of 10mins between bib distribution for 6K and 3K. Not sure if this is helpful but try it out
  • Fix the microphone
  • Redo the banners. Make them shorter to fit on pickups
  • There were a bit too many extra bananas and biscuits. Update the equation

    WHAT IS SNAIL TRAIL SERIES?
    Snail Trail is a fun outdoors event for you and your loved ones, open for folks with all kinds of trail experience (you do need to be fit for the distance you choose). With plenty of time to finish at a comfortable pace, you could either run the whole thing or do a leisurely brisk hike. Snail Trail is a running race for sure - there are winners - but it's purely a fun, social day out on the trails. As with any outdoor activity, there is an element of physical risk at Snail Trail, so please take it slow and easy on this small and fun event.

    IMP: Please do not park inside or pull into the venue. Parking is at a turning 100m before the venue. There will be someone in neon jacket to show you the parking spot. If you are being dropped off, please get off at the parking spot, and do not bring your vehicle inside the event premises at any point of the event. The compound is our start/finishline and your car will be a safety hazard and a bottleneck.

    3. TRAIL GPS MAP DOWNLOAD

    4. Code of Conduct
    From our experience of organizing over 30 of these events, we know the importance of having everyone follow rules and that no individual is allowed to ruin the experience or worse compromise the safety of other participants. Here are the most important ones:
    - If you miss the deadline, you will be subject to Rs. 500 late fees (surcharge on the entry fees). The bib will be handwritten (and my handwriting is a little too tough to the eyes). We cannot make exceptions to this rule, as this is the single deciding factor if the race starts on time.
    - For no-shows or late shows, the payment is non-transferable across races and between participants, as all costs will have been incurred.
    - Photography and your result is not opt-outs and will be published online. Event photos will be published on Social Media. Your result will be published along with your nationality and age category. All other other data you provide to us will be kept confidential, unless government authorities ask for the same verbally or in written form.
    - Absolutely no form of swearing or yelling (we had this misfortune before). There will be kids around, and we want to make sure nobody is exposed to nasty behavior. If you are not content with the race, you can express your concerns in a civil manner, but no form of swearing, shrieking or rowdy behavior will be tolerated at the slightest.
    - Make sure your physician clears you for outdoor activities. Snail Trail welcomes and encourages people with all kinds of fitness level, but you need to be in physical shape to finish the race in within the cut-off times (see Schedule section on the website).
    - The trail can be steep, flat, undulating, wide, narrow, slippery, rocky, thorny, sandy, muddy, uneven and can also be on the roads on some parts with some traffic. Please be alert at all times, and follow colored ribbons and spray that match the color of your bib.
    - The best way to enjoy the Series is to register/pay on time, show up on time (avoid late fees) and follow the trail markings from start to finish. If you take a wrong turn, check the GPS track that you'd load on your phone before starting the race. Any pace is fine.
    - All kids 12 years or below must be accompanied by a guardian. If is the guardians responsibility to make sure the kids are safe on the trails and not push them too hard for a medal. The kids must have proper running/hiking gear, including protection from the sun and rain.
    - And finally, there will be music playing. Please do not change the music or volume. We had someone play sleazy songs before.
    - Snail Trail is a small, recreational trail race/hike that's widely loved, so let's keep it slow, easy and fun on the trails.

    See you all tomorrow on time at Bishnudole Farm House.

    Namaste,

    Thank you for participating in Snail Trail #34 Lubhu.

    For results and photos:
    https://snailtrailseries.com/recap

    Please tag @snailtrailseries on Instagram and Facebook. We will reshare your posts, stories, reels, highlights.. what have you!

    Here are a few updates, observations and notes to self:
    - Live timing on iPads didn't work for the first time despite multiple testing. See what happened
    - Make a playlist of 50 songs to play at random, so that nobody needs to change the music
    - Make the waiver more comprehensive and start archiving signed waivers, so that people who have already signed don't need to again
    - Have a buffer of 10mins between bib distribution for 6K and 3K. Not sure if this is helpful but try it out
    - Fix the microphone
    - Redo the banners. Make them shorter to fit on pickups
    - There were a bit too many extra bananas and biscuits. Update the equation

    Please let us know your thoughts on the event. We will definitely consider your feedback.

    Snail Calendar

    Following are confirmed dates. We will add more dates as and when they are confirmed.

    [xcalendar_races]

    What’s up with only Lubhu?
    We are changing our model. Instead of aiming for a different location/venue each time – which severely compromises quality across races (permission, space, toilets etc) – we have now tied up with Bishudole Farmhouse in Lubhu. We will add more dates (in addition to Lubhu on said dates) as other locations and venues get identified and confirmed, like Thali, Taudaha etc, which means more than one Snail Trail a month!

    In just over a year, it has become the center of a wide and diverse community. Few events with this much complexity manage to feel both so well organized and so personal at the same time.
