Скачать или смотреть Gwent Police - safer running

I was delighted to join members of Newport’s running community to relaunch Gwent Police’s safer running scheme for the winter recently. As the nights get darker, it’s so important that women and girls feel confident and secure while out running.

Gwent Police, in partnership with Welsh Athletics, are offering practical advice to help runners stay safe - especially those who may feel more vulnerable during the winter months. You should never have to experience harassment or threatening behaviour while running but if you do, please report it.

Here are Gwent Police’s top five tips for staying safe while running:
1️⃣ Stick to well-lit routes and avoid secluded areas
2️⃣ Wear bright clothing and lights to stay visible
3️⃣ Let someone know where you’re going and when you’ll be back
4️⃣ Share your route or run with others
5️⃣ Always carry your mobile phone

You can report issues to Gwent Police via 101, Facebook Messenger, or online. Always call 999 in an emergency.
