We believe that every participant should feel safe and secure while participating in our events and activities. We are committed to creating a safe environment through the implementation of best practices, policies, and procedures that promote physical, emotional, and psychological safety. Our values of respect, inclusivity, and safety guide all our decisions and actions. We are committed to upholding these values in all our interactions with members, participants, volunteers, and the community at large. We believe that by working together, we can create a healthier, stronger, and more inclusive community for all. New Haven Road Runners Code of Conduct New Haven Road Runners (NHRR) is committed to fostering a welcoming, safe, and supportive community — on the roads, in the group chat, and at every event. By joining the club, members agree to uphold this Code of Conduct and contribute to a respectful, inclusive environment for all. NHRR is an all-volunteer-run club. While we may not be able to meet every individual need, our leadership is happy to hear concerns and is always looking to grow and improve our community. Expectations of All Members • Be respectful and kind. Treat fellow club members and the public with courtesy, patience, and empathy. • No harassment or bullying. This includes verbal abuse, bullying of any kind, or creating a hostile environment, whether online or in person. • Avoid discriminatory language or actions. There is zero tolerance for racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or other forms of discrimination. • Promote a positive club culture. Our members should feel welcome, encouraged, and supported — regardless of pace, experience, background, or schedule. • Engage constructively. If you disagree with a decision, event format, or another member, raise concerns in a respectful and solution-oriented way. • Represent the club well. Whether you’re at a group run, local race, or simply chatting online, your behavior reflects on NHRR as a whole. • Use the group chat appropriately. Avoid flooding the chat, stirring conflict, or using it as a place to vent frustrations. Respect others’ time, space, and boundaries. Please keep in mind that we are a diverse community of individuals with busy, multifaceted lives. Outside of our recurring run offerings, we may not be able to accommodate every preferred schedule or idea, and that’s okay. What to Do If Someone Violates the Code of Conduct Report alleged violations to the NHRR Board of Directors, in writing, at newhavenroadrunners@gmail.com . Please include: • The name(s) of the individual(s) involved • The nature of the alleged violation • Any witnesses to the alleged violation • Any additional information that might be helpful The Board takes allegations seriously, will address them as quickly as the circumstances permit, and will act to respect the rights and confidentiality of those involved, while endorsing USA Track & Field’s Safe Sport guidelines. At the discretion of the Board, a violation may result in: • A written warning • Termination of membership Club Etiquette Reminders We all shape the culture of our club. These best practices help us ensure a safe, fun, and positive experience for all: • Show up on time and bring a good attitude — positivity is contagious. • Stick to the planned route and be attentive to others’ safety. • Be considerate on sidewalks, trails, and roads — we share the space with others. • Follow all traffic laws and assume drivers may not see you. • Run against traffic when on roads, and stay visible at night. • Volunteer, participate, and uplift others — this is your community. Together, We Make the Club NHRR thrives because of its members. Your energy, empathy, and enthusiasm are what make this club special. We ask that every runner, walker, and community member help us uphold these values — so we can continue to build something meaningful, together.
