• Use staggered starts
• Have different Race Start and Race Finish locations
• Require masks covering nose and mouth in all areas except while running

• Require advanced registration. No Race Day Sign-up
• Runners should be prepared to be as self-sufficient as possible. Runners will pass by one (5k) or two (4 mile) aid station(s) set with bottled water that the runner can pick up. After the finish, bottled water and wrapped snacks will be available for pickup prior to runners leaving the area.
