It is also a long-overdue wake-up call for all of us to learn to share the road responsibly. Licences should only be awarded to event organisers with a track record of subjecting themselves to these safety standards. The rising cost of race entries needs to be reflected in improved safety standards. Further, pedes­trian lanes and pavements not only needed to be adequately maintained, but also to be respected by all road users, for the safety of runners du­­ring training. As for drivers and motorcyclists, can we all learn to share the road responsibly?
