As we released our Liberty Mountain Trail Series calendar this summer, we had great anticipation that our Fall events would be able to proceed with a sense of normalcy. In the past few weeks, we have felt that the COVID-19 situation has not changed enough for us to properly host our races in the normal fashion. The health and well-being of our runners, spectators, staff and volunteers are our main priority. We also want to ensure that we are looking out for the safety of our larger community as well.
So, keeping this in mind, we will have some significant modifications made to our events this year. At this time, we are not cancelling the events. With the races being outdoors and taking part across our beautiful Liberty Mountain, we are still able to move forward with our races, but they will look different. Please read below for important information concerning participation. Our events will proceed with Virginia Phase 3 mandates in mind and a commitment that our participants would adhere to the rules and restrictions.
