The Water Run

We are pleased to announce that The Water Run 2020 is a go!

We will be adding a virtual option to the Run this year for participants who cannot make it to Medicine Hat, are still needing to Social Distance or just want to get creative and do their own route. It will be the same great family fun with more options and opportunities to make a difference!

RACE PACKAGE PICKUP

We are staggering race package pick-up according to your race distance. Please do not arrive before your scheduled pick-up time.
Participants must line up 2m apart during package pick-up. Before receiving your timing chip and race bib number from our team (who will wear masks & gloves) participants will be questioned as follows:

Pre-Screening Questionnaire will be posted for Runners to self assessment before event. Questions asked are below:

(Questions 1 – 4 NO, 5 YES required for participation) to be answered upon arrival.
1. Have you traveled outside of the country in the past 14 days?
2. Have you tested positive for COVID – 19. (if yes in the past 14 days, no participation)
3. Do you have any symptoms: cough, fever, sore throat, difficulty breathing not related to a pre-existing condition?
4. Have you knowingly been in contact with an individual who has tested positive in the last 14 days?
5. Have you read the athlete race day information in its entirety?

RACE START

Racers will line up every 2m (at flags) and individually released every 5 seconds in a time-trial format.
Keep moving up the line until you’re the next to go. Your start time is automatically triggered when you cross the start line.
Although cohorts will be allowed to start and race in a group, side-by-side running is not allowed.
We want to leave plenty of room for others to pass.
