CAR SHARING
RaceLifts.org - Save money by car sharing to the WRU
This FREE website lets you contact local runners who wish to share the travel costs of getting to the WRU. This can save you loads of money, while also helping the environment.
Why car share?
  1. Save money by sharing the travel costs. With just a single passenger paying for half of the fuel, it will be much cheaper than using public transport. Fill every seat and really save.
  2. Help the environment. We all like running in beautiful countryside, breathing clean air. Fewer cars on the road is better for everyone.
  3. Support the race directors – parking can be a major headache for them, upsetting local residents or having to hire areas to park hundreds of cars. Cut the number of cars in half and you are making their jobs that bit easier.
  4. Meet other runners who live locally. A shared journey can be a lot more fun, and you may even end up running with them during the race. Or arrange to meet up for pre-race training sessions or reccies.
