The Rock the Quarry team wants to keep our participants, staff, and volunteers safe from the spread of COVID-19 so here are a few things that will be in place this year at the race:
- Rolling Start – this year there will be black race mats that record your time at thebeginning of the race and the end of the race. This allows runners to start whenever they want between 9:30 – 10:00am which will keep the initial crowd at the starting line from getting too big. Check out this video out from iDaph that explains the rolling start - https://youtu.be/rMv44AQVXqg
- The Awards Ceremony will be virtual and posted after the race. Awards can be picked up at the new Mountain Running Company location next to Whole Foods on Tunnel Rd. We ask that runners after the race get their refreshments and food and then head to their cars so a large crowd doesn’t form.
- We’re going to encourage social distancing before and after the race.
- We’ll have hand sanitizer stations around the start and finish line.
- If a participant isn’t feeling well on race-day, we can easily switch their registration to a virtual option. We encourage all runners not to attend the race if they’re not feeling well on race-day.
- If runners want to wear a mask/face covering until the race starts and put it back on at finish, they are more than welcome to do so. Please respect everyone’s comfort level.
