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.

UPDATES
- Start time needs to be shifted an hour, maybe half, early to avoid the midday heat. The trails also need more jungles and shade. But we all know what jungles come with here… more climbs!
- Even the timekeeping computer froze in the heat. The irony. We'll get a canopy tent for the laptop.
- We had the venue at the top this time, hoping to make the trail less steep and what not, but that meant driving on narrow winding roads. To simplify matters, we’ll stick to what we used to do, ie start at the base.
- We'll update how the pre-race information is presented on the website. A few people went to the wrong school, several missed the deadline, and a couple of folks came for bus pickup far too late. Speaking of which…
- …there was a 25min delay for 10K start, caused by the bus waiting for late arrivals. We might allow a grace time of 10mins sharp. But 25mins? :S
- We’ve gotten a lot of requests for 15K, 7K and 3K, which used to be our original distances. We’ll need additional resources for this (admin/marshal/photographer teams, result displays, checkpoints, food, transportation, etc) and thanks to inflation, our breakeven has shifted from 90 to 130. Distances and entry fees will likely be revised in a couple of months.
- We'll start revamping marketing and promotions for the race, now that the team and workflow are all set. Please help us spread the word with your contacts and organizations.

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.

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.
