COVID-19 GUIDELINES FOR 2020

  To help keep everyone safe, we are doing things differently this year. The changes are primarily to reduce hand-to-hand transactions and enable social distancing. Please be mindful of others, keep distanced and follow the guidelines below.

• MASKS ARE REQUIRED AT ALL TIMES with ONE EXCEPTION– Runners and walkers may remove their masks when they are approximately 50 yards beyond the start line. Runners and walkers must put their masks back on immediately after crossing the finish line. 
• If you have a condition that prohibits you from safely wearing a mask, please participate virtually. 
• Masks must cover mouth and nose.
• Anyone not wearing a mask will be asked to put one on.
