It is strongly recommended that individuals considered by the CDC to be “at-risk” not participate in the sanctioned event in any capacity. This would include:

• individuals over the age of 65
• individuals who live in nursing homes
• individuals with underlying medical conditions, noted by the CDC, which place them at higher risk, such as chronic lung disease, moderate to severe asthma, diabetes, serious heart conditions, severe obesity (BMI > 40), chronic kidney or liver disease, and individuals who are immunocompromised or live with someone who is immunocompromised.

If these “at-risk” individuals choose to participate, it is recommended that they get clearance from their healthcare provider.

In order to provide adequate social distancing at the starting line we will be utilizing wave starts 1 minute apart. Your race bib will have your wave start posted on your bib label. You must wear a face covering when picking up your race packet and we recommend wearing a face covering to the starting line. This is recommended but not mandatory. You may take off your face covering once you start the race.
