CHARITY FUNDRAISING EVENT 5 September 2015 Dear Resident, As organisers of the Prime Four Beast Race we would like to inform you about this running event taking place on Saturday 5 September 2015. It consists of a 10km obstacle race that will raise much-needed funds for Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland (CHSS). We also want to provide you with contact details as we are very keen to listen to and work with the local community. All charitable funds raised from the event will go directly to support people in all Scottish communities who are affected by chest, heart and stroke illness. The event will bring over 800 runners and their supporters to Loch Ness and the surrounding area. We aim to stage a wellorganised, safe, environmentally friendly and fun event for everyone. Safety and Environment: The event will be covered by specific event health & safety risk assessments and an Event Safety Plan. Appropriate Public Liability Insurance will be in place and the event has an Environmental Policy outlining how we will avoid and minimise any detrimental environmental effects. Race Route: The majority of the race is run on the grounds of Aldourie Estate, where the start and finish will be located. The event also takes competitors across a section of Dores beach. All landowners have consented to the route. If you have not been contacted, the race does not cross your land. Event Base and Timings: The event base will be in the grounds of Aldourie Castle. Competitors will start to arrive from 9:00 onwards. The race starts at 10:30 with the prize giving at 16:00. Event set up will start on Sunday 30 August, and all event signs and equipment will be taken down by Sunday 6 September. Every effort will be made to minimise any disruption or effects on the general public and local residents. If you do have any concerns, suggestions or questions about any aspect of the event please do not hesitate to contact us. Any feedback after the event will also be most welcome. We would be delighted if you or someone you know would be interested in assisting with route marshalling or could help in some other way. Your valued local help would make a real difference! We are sincerely grateful to all local residents for their support and understanding. Kind Regards, Richard Lawes (07876 327807) and Jono Buckland (07867 416209) Firetrail Events Ltd.
