KEEPING EACH OTHER SAFE AND HEALTHY
To minimize shoulder to shoulder contact and avoid long lines, we encourage runners to sign up now. Waiting to sign up at the packet pickup may cause unnecessary congestion and long waiting periods.
A distant wave start will take place. We are watching the numbers of participants closely and we will adjust procedures accordingly to the numbers. (For example – 2 runners, staged 6 ft apart will start every 5 sec)
Please follow race day signage and instruction provided by event staff.
Social distancing 6’ apart and face masks or coverings are required unless you are actively participating in the race and at all packet pickup areas.
Do not attend if you are sick or have been in the last 14 days.
Do not attend if you have been near anyone with Covid-19 symptoms.
Cover your cough or sneeze. Stay at least 6’ away if you cough and do not cough or sneeze while passing another athlete. Do not spit on the course or in the transition area.
Announce yourself to your fellow racer when passing so all parties can make effort to stay 6’ apart.
Athletes will be encouraged to bring their own nutrition as aid stations will be self-served and minimally staffed to avoid physical contact. Do not place anything personal on tables. Do not place any items back on event tables after removing them.

VOLUNTEERS
Without volunteers, we simply can't have races. Without volunteers, there is no one to tell athletes where to turn, hand out water, cheer everyone on - and yes - how much fun is body marking?! Volunteers get everyone pumped up and motivated. As a volunteer, you'll feel like you made a valuable contribution to the success of the race. And who knows? You could turn into a participant at the next race! Simply put, volunteers are the heart of triathlon races.
