SAFETY MEASURES
University City Memorial Day Run Committee is passionate about running and providing quality events. We are committed to doing so while following the health and safety guidelines set by the St. Louis County Health Department. Please see some of the safety measures we will have in place for the event, and please check back here often as guidelines are subject to change.
Masks
All volunteers and event staff will be required to wear a mask throughout the duration of the event. You will not be asked to wear your mask while you are running. All staff and volunteers will have masks on.
Packet Pickup
There will be no in-person race day registration available (online only). Friends and family welcome are to spectate and cheer, but please limit attendees to those living in your home, and remind them that they must wear masks on race site.
Restrooms
Port-o-johns will be set side by side with a 4 foot gap between them so lines are 6 ft. apart from each other. Hand sanitizer will be provided inside and outside of the port-o-johns. Hand washing stations will be available outside of the port-o-johns as well.
Water Stations
We will have one water station on the course, it will consist of small water bottles for each participant. Volunteers will be required to wear mask and gloves while setting up the tables. Tables will be sanitized prior to setting water bottles on them. Bottles will be placed 12" apart and runners will have to grab their own bottle. Volunteers will not be allowed to hand bottles to runners. Trash cans will be available to minimize our footprint. We will leave the course as clean. if not cleaner, as when we arrived.
Post-Race
There will not be an award ceremony, as we want to limit crowding at the finish area. Runners will be encouraged to depart earlier than a traditional race. All post-race refreshments will be pre-packaged.
If you have any concerns about these measures, or would like more information please feel free to contact us.
