• Able to make a profit
• Offered food and water
• We planned for many different situations
• Were coordinated
• Marketed to the High School and many teachers were interestedWEAKNESSES

  Identify them and add strategies to minimise them:

  • Risk assessment was late as the guides of what to do weren’t organised
  • There needs to be a more logical order for what to do in terms of logistics
  • Less people for logistics
  • Confusion between pledge cards and risk bands
  • Too late for marketing
  • Unsure of placement in kilometer marker
  • Posters along the run weren’t visible or legible
  • Not enough people encouragement for runners – didn’t create the right environment (maybe need more people)
  • Wastage of food?
  • Not enough people showed up
  • Podcast
  • Not enough people to pack up event in school

OPPORTUNITIES
Further goals for our service partnership are:

• • • Printing registration form
    • More communication with service office on the steps to organise events

    • order
    • Maybe merge pledge cards and wrist bands into one
    • Clarify that pledge cards are competitive
    • Make it more of a family event
    • Earlier market
    • More organized shifts for GC members to allow members to participate in event
    • Move the date to not be close to exams etc.
    • More people for packing up the event on Saturday in school
