COVID-19

Pre-race testing and screening

All participants should strive to receive a vaccine prior to any any event in our series. If you are not vaccinated, please get a COVID-19 test prior to attending any event in our series and DO NOT attend a race if your results are anything other than negative.

Masks and face coverings

For the safety of our community, volunteers, athletes and families, please wear a mask or face covering at all times (except during a race). This includes registration, check-in, awards, and any other time near others.

If you do not want to wear a mask or face covering during the times specified above, DO NOT attend this event. You will be unable to register, check-in, or stand on the podium.

Updates

Please note that the information from the CDC is changing as vaccines become available. We will update our COVID-19 protocols accordingly.

Additional requirements

Additional requirements for race participation may be included at the discretion of each race organizer.
