Here's what we're doing to keep our in-person events as safe as possible for everyone:
- There will be no mass gathering at the start line. The rolling start will include multiple, limited wave, which participants will choose during registration.
- All staff/volunteers will be required to wear a face covering during the event.
- Ages 5+ are required to wear a face covering while inside Nature Center gates, so runners and walkers should have one on while running through the park and walkers for the Nature Walk should have them on the whole time.
- Spectators will not be allowed in the grounds of the WNC Nature Center or along the course. Anyone on the grounds or course must be a registered participant.
- We will not have a finish line 'experience' of music, hanging out and waiting on the results or an awards ceremony. After you are finished with your race, we ask that participants head out of the finish/venue area.
- We will provide hand sanitizer stations, and will continually wipe down frequently used surfaces.
- Increased port-a-jons with hand sanitizer.
- Participants will not be permitted to form in groups. They must maintain 6 foot distancing while in the start/finish area, in the event hub.
