A: Great question. Like everyone, we are monitoring the situation on a daily basis and will adhere to local and CDC guidelines for events. As of right now, we are still planning a live race with healthy practices modifications. All food will be pre-packaged (we are working on the candy corn tasting bar). Each volunteer will be provided a mask and gloves. We will expand our event footprint to allow for more social distancing. We already start in waves depending on race distance but we might implement a wave system within those distances to allow for rolling starts. We will hand out sealed water bottles at the aid station. We are considering implementing temperature checks upon arrival. Please stay tuned here for more details as we get closer to event day and we know how this virus is impacting us in October.
