- COVID-19 Event Participant Policy
Our sanctioning body, the USA Track and Field Association, requires us to take certain precautions to validate and insure our event. Furthermore, your help in meeting these standards is essential to keep our event safe and to insure we can continue to hold more in-person events in the near future.
1. We will send a survey the evening prior to the event to:
- Confirm (self-reporting) no signs or symptoms of COVID-19 in past 7 days (OR at least 7 days from onset of any COVID-19 infection signs or symptoms AND at least 72 hours since signs / symptoms have resolved).
- Confirm no close sustained contact with anyone who is sick within 14 days of the event.
- Confirm no travel within 14 days of the event to an international location with widespread ongoing COVID-19 transmission as determined by the CDC (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/map-and-travel-notices.html) or travel on a cruise ship or river boat.
- Those who cannot confirm the above must not attend our in-person event. For this reason we are committed to being flexible with transfers to the virtual event, deferments, and refunds.
2. Competitors who have had a documented case of COVID-19 must have written letter from physician indicating they are cleared to compete.
3. A brief, contactless temperature check will be performed upon entering the starting corral on event day to confirm a temperature of less than 100.4F (38.0 C).
4. It is strongly recommended that individuals considered by the CDC to be “at-risk” not participate in the sanctioned event in any capacity. This would include:

- If these “at-risk” individuals choose to participate, it is recommended that they get clearance from their healthcare provider.
- Social Distancing
We submitted a comprehensive COVID-19 mitigation plan to the MOA Parks and Recreation to have our permit approved. There are two things that you, our participants, can do to help us maintain compliance and help us host more of these events in the future.
1. Wear a mask anytime when not actively exercising at our event. Wear a mask that you can pull up when passing participants closely during the event.
