Steps Taken to Mitigate the Spread of COVID-19
1) CapacityLimit:
As an outdoor cross country event this hosted on a high school cross country course this venue has a massive capacity limit. Our plan is to cap the event at 200 participants. We will not allow spectators at this year’s event unless the runner is a youth in which their families are allowed. They will be required to wear masks at all times and maintain social distancing within the venue. Our field of participants is typically less than 10% (so approximately 20 under 18). Between spectators and participants, the event would cap at 250 individuals on site.
2) GuestInformation:
All guests will be required to wear a mask when at the venue except while they are actually racing.
All guests will be required to practice social distancing while at the venue maintaining at least 6ft between themselves and those outside of their household.
We will have sanitation stations throughout the venue to encourage increased handwashing.

3) StaffandVolunteerScreening:
We will only have 5 staff on site for this event, and no volunteers are needed
All staff will have their temperature checked on site race morning.
All staff will be required to wear masks the entire time while on site
Any staff doing any tasks that will be touched by participants/others will be in gloves (we
have eliminated almost all touchpoints)
4) SocialDistancingMeasures:
We have large 24x36 COVID 19 signage placed throughout the venue informing folks of both the self-screen info, proper COVID-19 racing etiquette, to wear masks, socially distant, etc.
We will have a PA system set up with constant reminders being shared about social distancing requirements, mask requirements, etc.
Our start line (most congested point of race) will be over 50 feet wide, and allow 10 people to start at a time with proper social distancing. We will put out markers 6+ feet apart to mark where folks need to stand in the grass field.
Overall, the course is very wide and set to allow single flow of traffic. We have signage, and announcements to reiterate passing on the left, and announce your presence 10ft back to limit runners racing side by side.
Masks are required until the race starts, and immediately upon finish the race. As folks finish there is no award ceremony as we encourage folks to take a water bottle and move on from the venue.
All of these items are reiterated on our event website, and through pre-race email communication.
5) IncreasedSanitation:
We will have multiple sanitation stations near port o pots, the start line, and the finish line.
We are having multiple days of packet pick up off site to eliminate the need for a packet pick up race morning which cuts out those touch points.
Event medals are given out in advance with the race packet instead of at the finish line.
We will have a masked and gloved volunteer set out individual and sealed water bottles
on a table after the finish line. Participants can take their water bottle if desired.
We will NOT be providing a water station along the course.
We will not have post race refuel items such as donuts, and hot chocolate.
Staff will use sanitation wipes to clean door knobs/touch points on port o pot
intermittingly through the morning, and while the race is taking place.
6) Compliance:
Mask wearing is required for all staff, participants, and spectators while on site.
Social Distancing is required for all staff, participants, and spectators while on site.
Hand Sanitation stations are provided throughout the venue.
We are monitoring local guidelines and implementing suggested safety measures to
allow participants to stay active and connected.
