2021 Scheels Healthy Human Race Registration Options
The Scheels Healthy Human Race is planning on hosting a safe and healthy event on August 28, 2021. The goal is to host the event in-person, however the Healthy Human Race Committee will follow all COVID-19 guidelines set forth by the State of Minnesota, Olmsted County and the City of Rochester and reserves any and all rights to change or cancel the race.
It is challenging to know what the COVID-19 environment will look on race day, however the Healthy Human Committee would like to share how they intend to handle uncertainty surrounding registrations during the pandemic.
Registration limits
If guidelines indicate it is safe to do so, the race will go on without registration limits. If race limitations need to be established, a notice will be posted on the Healthy Human Race website with information about how participants can to select their virtual or in-person race choice. An email will be sent to participants with notice to check the website for details.
Virtual option
All participants will have the option to choose a virtual race at registration or switch to a virtual race until August 22nd. Virtual participant packets can be mailed to for an additional $6.50 fee or picked up during the normal packet pick-up times.
Cancellation policy
If it’s determined that it is not safe to race no refunds will be provided. At that time, all registrations will become virtual. In-person registrants will be given directions on how to transfer their registration to virtual or register for the 2022 Healthy Human Race at a discount. The discount will be nontransferable.
Announcements will be made via the Healthy Human Race website and participants are responsible for monitoring for the site for the latest race information. Notices to check the website will be sent via email.
The Healthy Human Race reserves all rights to make changes to refunds and policies. Please contact Race Director, Lin Gentling, with any questions.
