Challenge Safety Tips

  • Respect all local government guidelines regarding Covid-19.
  • Complete challenge solo (or with members of your family or those in your "Covid bubble").
  • Respect other runners and walkers. Keep your space, maintain six feet of distance, pass with care.
  • Avoid high traffic pedestrian and vehicle areas. Run or walk close to home during a quieter time of day whenever possible.
  • Wear appropriate clothing. Be visible and dress for the weather.    
  • Bring water and/or nutrition if you are planning a longer route. There are no water stations in a virtual event.    
  • Carry a cell phone with you and tell someone the route you will follow in case of an emergency.    
  • You may complete your challenge using a treadmill if that is an option available to you and that you would prefer.
