We realize that the COVID-19 pandemic is a dynamic situation, and we will continue to monitor all updates from the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) and CDC. In the event the status of the Saint Fennessy 4K, Fitger's 5K or Park Point 5-miler changes, we have developed the following plan:
- If circumstances surrounding the pandemic prohibit us from hosting any of the races in-person on the originally planned dates, the event will be postponed to a later date in 2022.
- Information regarding postponement dates will be communicated to participants as soon as possible upon notification that we aren't able to hold a race on the original date.
- Participants will be given the option to participate in-person on the postponement date or switch to a virtual option.
- In the event we are not able to host the race(s) on the postponement date(s) and we are forced to cancel, in-person registrations will automatically be converted to a virtual version of the race and details for reporting finishing times will be emailed to participants.
Grandma's Marathon is committed to providing safe and healthy events at all times, and is following all local and state guidelines in hosting these events. During the COVID-19 pandemic we are implementing extra precautions, which will require full cooperation among our participants, volunteers and staff. We ask that you adhere to the following safety measures, requirements and guidelines during your participation to ensure the continuation of in-person running event options:
- DO NOT attend the event if you are experiencing fever, cough, chills, muscle pain, shortness of breath, sore throat, new loss of taste or smell, or have been exposed to somebody who has tested positive for COVID-19 within 10 days of the event. If you are not able to attend the event due to experiencing these symptoms or being exposed to somebody who has tested positive, please contact the Grandma's Marathon office at grandmas@grandmasmarathon.com and we will switch your entry to the virtual race.
- Practice social distancing throughout the event! Social distancing indicators will be marked on the ground at Race Packet Pick-up and in the Start Corral as guidance for proper spacing.
- Be "ready to run" prior to entering the Start Corral - have no symptoms of being sick within 72 hours prior to the race, have your race number adhered to the front of your shirt, pre-race warm-up complete, hands washed and restroom used, etc.
- If you test positive for COVID-19 within the 10 days following the event, you must email grandmas@grandmasmarathon.com so that we may notify staff and participants as necessary.
- Please be aware that the status of these races is subject to change at any time. We realize that the COVID-19 pandemic is a dynamic situation, and we will continue to monitor all updates from the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) and CDC. If the status of the event changes, we will notify participants via email as soon as possible.
