Hi Hard Core Runners Club,

I go to Davis High School. In my health class, we were asked to raise awareness of running safety in the area.

So what I’m doing is asking running websites to share safety tips.

It's awesome that you promote health and fitness in the community through running. I think runners (and even walkers) of all ages, standards and abilities could benefit greatly from the many running opportunities and events that you offer in your club.

As you no doubt value safety, it might be nice if you could post safety resources on your website.

A good one I found that I think could be helpful is https://www.dietspotlight.com/benefits-of-running/ - list of safety tips, running benefits, resources.

"Join runners at the Franklin Park track,
