COVID Protocols and Back-Up Date
In these times of social distancing, we will be enacting several measures to ensure the safety of all participants:
- We will be staggering the start of the race with a maximum number of participants in each wave. Each wave will have a maximum of 20-30 participants with the first wave comprising of the elite runners (i.e. those runners with a sub-7 minute pace). We will be utilizing chip timing for the race so in the event a runner is note in the elite wave but ends up running the fastest time, that person will be crowned our champion.
- All participants will be asked to wear masks at the beginning of the race and as they are approaching the finish line.
- We ask that all participants, volunteers and spectators wear masks in the area around registration and starting line.
In the event we are unable to run the race on June 13, the backup date will be Sunday, October 17.PLACENew Dorp Lane and South Railroad Avenue
