COVID-19 Precautions
On May 28, 2021, Virginia Executive Order 79 (2021) and Order of Public Health Emergency 10 "Ending Commonsense Public Health Restrictions Due to Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19)" goes into effect.
With the lifting of these restrictions, RRRC will adopt the following practices for RRRC events on or after May 28:
- Individuals who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 do not need to wear a mask or other face covering outdoors at RRRC races, training programs, or other events.
- Individuals who are fully vaccinated do not need to wear a mask in the RRRC Club House.
- RRRC strongly encourages anyone who is not fully vaccinated to wear a mask when they are not actively running/walking during an RRRC race or training program, especially when they cannot maintain 6 feet distance from other individuals (e.g., check-in, starting corral, finish area).
- If you are fully vaccinated but you are still uncomfortable around others, RRRC fully supports you in wearing your face covering at any RRRC event.
- For packet pickup and other sponsor/host events and locations, RRRC will abide by the requirements of the sponsor/host regarding masks and physical distancing at the host’s business location.
- RRRC will continue to offer a virtual event with all of our races as long as any COVID-19 prevention restrictions/recommendations remain in effect.
Participants at increased risk for COVID-19. Per CDC guidelines, the following groups are considered to be at a higher risk for contracting COVID-19. If any of these apply to you, we ask that you consider the increased risk before registering:
- CDC high-risk age threshold (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/need-extra-precautions/older-adults.html):
- Those who are immunocompromised or undergoing treatment for an ongoing disease such as cancer, HIV, liver, or heart disease (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/need-extra-precautions/people-with-medical-conditions.html)
- Those with moderate to severe asthma
These procedures are subject to change at any time, and we appreciate your flexibility as we put on races during COVID-19.
