COVID    The Friends of Seminole State Forest (FSSF) will strive to provide our 2022 Run for the Woods participants with a safe environment to race. Our focus is to minimize all participants’ possible exposure to the virus as much as possible by following these simple guidelines:
  All runners and guests assume personal responsibility for adhering to current COVID guidelines.
  Runners (single/teams/families) will be distanced 6 feet apart at the start of the race.
  Masks/hand sanitizer will be available at registration and all water stations.
  STAY HOME if you have any symptoms or have tested positive for COVID-19! We will apply your paid registration to next year’s race,                                                                       with proof of a positive test.
  The FSSF and their volunteers will not be held liable for the development of symptoms or testing positive for COVID-19 post-race.
