We are continuing to work with city, state and local officials, along with following the CDC's recommendations as we plan. Because of COVID-19, we will be implementing special policies and procedures for this year's event. We are confident that we can produce a safe event for all but we want all participants to know the event will look different from year's past.

  • Masks will be required for all pre- and post-race activities. Not required when running
  • Massage and Gear Check will not be offered
