I would like the input from everyone on creating a template for the promotion of upcoming trail runs. I think that a standardized trail run promotion template will ease the burden of planning trail runs, thus creating more members to host them. I like the idea of starting the post out with a brief introduction and hard trail run facts before doing a write-up and pictures as it gets the information accross quickly without having to hunt and read through the whole thread! Please chime in with your thoughts on the idea, nomenclature and contents. Here's what I had in mind:
Introduction:
This should contain one or a few sentences introducing the trail and purpose of the run. Later, it can include a hyperlink to the report thread.
Trail Run:This should include actual trail information and expected conditions at the time of the run. Include Date, estimated start and end times, expected beginning and end GPS coordinates, the duration of the run and any substantial stops, expected weather conditions, etc.
Trail Expectations:
This should include a one to several paragraph write-up of the trail run, different types of obstacles and terrains to be encountered, expected carnage and general information, etc…
Communications:
This should include a communications plan with the following:
Primary Comm: e.g. CB Channel 5
Secondary Comm: e.g. FRS Channel 5
Ham Comm: e.g. (Big Bear Repeater: 147.330+ PL 103.5), (14.238 MHz USB), etc...
Telephone: List phone numbers for nearby police, rangers, hospitals, always remember to try 911
Services:
Camping information, restaurants, groceries, towns, brothels, etc...
Tests:
This should include any modifications or techniques that will be tested.
Example Photos:
This should be a single reply to the original post that can have captions above the photos stating clearly when they were from. I think 6 photos should cover it.
