We ask that all registrants certify that they will comply with the current CDC Guidelines and other directives from the Governor of their respective state in participating and completing their Challenge. Our strong advice is to "EXERCISE ALONE" or with your immediate family members. We all need to do our part to "stop the spread". Be safe and do your part.
Here are some ways to be safe and still get your workout, training or challenge completed:
EXERCISE ALONE! We'll have plenty of opportunities to exercise in groups when this is all over. If you do exercise with a partner maintain 6 feet or more distance at all times.
Use common sense about where you exercise and when you exercise. Going to run/bike/walk/etc. 8 miles in a busy park on a nice Saturday morning probably isn't your best choice. You may need to change up when you exercise and where you exercise.
Vary your routes. This is a great opportunity to switch things up, just be sure that you are exercising in a safe area with wide paths, roadway or trails.
Be aware of your surroundings. We are all vying for some of the same space when we are out exercising. Be courteous of others and providing plenty of room when you pass. Crossing the street when possible is a great strategy.
Consider more workouts from home. Lots of great things are happening with technology, online classes and exercise instruction.
