RACE GUIDELINES

1. All race staff will wear face coverings for the duration of the event. Runners will not be required to wear face coverings while running, but will be required to wear a mask before and after the race while in the area. 
2. All registrants will receive emails prior to the race, reminding runners who feel ill or believe they may have come in contact with someone exposed to COVID-19 to stay home. 
3. We will use a staggered start to minimize gathering at the start line. Runners will receive specific instructions closer to race day, but in general we will be sending small groups off every 15 to 20 seconds. X's marked on the ground will designate appropriate social distancing while waiting for the start. At no point will a crowd be allowed to gather before or after the race.
4. Spectators are not allowed to gather at the start/finish line. We ask that only registered runners and walkers (with the exception of minors) attend the event in order to minimize the number of people in the area at any given time.
5. Results will be posted online, and an awards presentation will follow the race. If unable to attend the presentation, winners can pick up their award at Charm City Run Bel Air anytime beginning on Wednesday 5/19.
6. Anyone not abiding by the protocols outlined in our race plan will be given a friendly reminder, and then asked to leave if the situation is not corrected. We will not jeopardize the safety and well-being of our staff and fellow participants - it is your responsibility to read the guidelines and follow them!

VIRTUAL OPTION:

We have created a virtual race option for those who would like to participate but are not local, or do not feel comfortable attending an in-person race at this time. Here's how the virtual race works:

1. Register for the virtual event, and sign up for text or e-mail notifications
2. Your race swag will be mailed to you.
3. You'll receive a text or email (if you opt in) when the race "starts" on May 17th.
4. Run your race and submit your results either by text message or email (if you've opted in) or by heading to the results page here by May 17th at 11:59 PM Eastern Time). Results update in real time as people submit their times. Be sure to take a selfie and post on runsignup.com photo page.

Virtual race performances are not eligible for the overall event awards, but we'll certainly be acknowledging the winners in our post-race communication.
