In anticipation of CDC safety guidelines and restrictions on group sizes, we are prepared to host our event with a rolling "time trail" start.  This means that the start line for the 5K & 10K race will remain open from 7a.m. - 8a.m..  Runners can start at any time 7-8, and your official time will be measured from your personal start time to your finish time.  This will eliminate any crowds at the start or finish.  This format will tentatively eliminate our formal awards ceremony.  Awards will be available for pickup through the following week at the XXXX restaurant.  XXXX is also an official event sponsor and is offering a free XXXXX to all our finishing runners. Packet pickup will also be available Wed-Th-Fr-Sat, at the XXXXX center.  This will further eliminate crowds and wait time for runners.
