COVID GUIDELINES

The COVID 19 pandemic has forced us to make a few event format changes and to put safeguards in place for everyone’s comfort and safety.  Participant and volunteer peace of mind and safety is paramount in our planning and execution. We ask that everyone maintain a 6-foot distance throughout the event. All non-participants/supporters attending must remain off the beach. They may view their runner from the safety of LandShark Bar and Grill or anywhere inland side of the beach wall divider while maintaining a 6-foot distance from others.

Hand sanitizer will be provided at multiple locations throughout the registration/water stations. Runners are encouraged to wear masks as often as possible throughout their registration and pre-race start period. Bathrooms are available along with parking at Sunsplash Park located next to LandShark Bar and Grill.

If you have tested positive or recovered from COVID 19, have been exposed to COVID, have been medically quarantined within 14-days leading up to the Race, feel feverish, or have a current fever, you will be unable to participate.
