Return to Race Manual Table of Contents
Primary Responsibilities
- Keep runners moving to the back of the
chute.

reason!
- If runners need physical attention, assist them to the
back of the chute or, if the problem seems serious, notify the chute
supervisor to contact medical personnel.
BACK-OF-CHUTE HERDER
INSTRUCTIONS
Primary Responsibilities
- Keep runners moving and encourage them by saying, "Please pull your
bib tag." (This should
not be said by the mid-chute herders because it tends to slow down the
flow within the chute.)
- Do not allow runners to switch chutes--for any reason!
- If a runner is ill or injured and is being assisted out of the chute
by another herder or medical personnel, remove the tag from their race
bib and give it to the tag puller at the end of the chute.
Tips for Herders
- Be polite, but be assertive!
- Congratulate the runners for a great race.
- Use the word "please" a lot.
- Enjoy yourself.
