Covid-19 Guidelines
The Frank McNamara Cross Country Series has been modified to fit with the current Covid-19 AHS requirements. As we transition into a new "normal" for running, the following guidelines will be in place to ensure both athlete and staff safety:
- Athletes must sign up online via Race Roster; Onsite Race Registration will no longer be available. Online Registration on Race Day has been extended to ensure athletes have ample time to register.
- There will be no pre-race briefing prior to the start of the event; details will be posted online via Facebook and emailed to participants.
- We kindly ask you wear a mask before and after your race on race location; masks are not needed during your actual race. Should you not have a mask on race site, a disposable one can be provided for you
- Please maintain proper Hand Hygiene etiquette; Hand Sanitizer will be available on-site.
- Please social distance on race site while waiting for your event to begin.
- When you are finished your race, please take your belongings and go home! There will be no post-race draw prizes or awards.
- Frank McNamara Cross Country will now be similar to a time-trial event. The race will start in a series of waves, 20 persons to a wave. Each wave will leave spaced out 2 minutes apart. Frank XC will be now starting at 5:45 PM to ensure that all waves are sent out in a timely manner.
- Athletes will be spaced 2 meters apart, standing beside pylons, to start their race.
- Please do not show up to the race site more than 30 minutes prior to your specific wave start
Spring Transfer
