Q. Can I wear Headphones, Earphones and Similar Equipment?

A. Bedford Harriers, along with many other race organisers, has endeavoured to persuade runners not to wear
head/earphones (including bone conducting head/ear phones)* or similar equipment during races.
These efforts have failed and consequently we have no alternative but to reluctantly adopt a disqualification
practice for any runner seen wearing head/earphones (including bone conducting head/ear phones) or similar
equipment.
In respect of this race it is important that runners can hear the verbal warnings and instructions issued by
race marshals.
