Most times when out running, we feel great and on top of the world, but sometimes unexpectedly bad things can happen - we fall and hurt ourselves, or worse we are knocked out, unconscious or in some cases killed. If this happened to you do you carry Identification with you ? so that your family can be immediately notified or any allergies made clear ?
CoolRunning would like to be seen as an advocate for responsible behaviour by runners and encourages runners to carry some type of id when they are out running.
![]() | We are suggesting runners use easy-to-carry Id from top-rated USA company Road-Id which can be easily attached to shoes or bracelets. This would make a good birthday or Christmad present. Click here to view their range and order yours. (CoolRunning make a small % of each sale). |
This idea came from this thread on CoolRunning Australia and this one on CoolRunning NZ.
Some examples of runners/ cyclists in accidents with no identification
