Do you have any safety tips for the virtual event?

Virtual Race Safety Tips

– Complete your virtual race solo. Do not run with anyone else, unless they live in your household
– If you are running with someone from your household, run single file, allowing others to pass you easily and safely
– Avoid high traffic pedestrian and vehicle areas. Run or walk close to home in your neighbourhood during a quieter time of day.
– Adhere to social distancing practices* while you are out running or walking. Can you safely pass someone? Can you run safely on the road? Make sure you always have a safe way to move around people to maintain at least 6 feet of distance.
– Complete your run on a treadmill, if this is an option that is available to you and that you would prefer.
– Wear appropriate clothing. Be visible and dress for the weather.
– Bring water and/or nutrition if you’re planning a longer route.
– Carry a cell phone with you during your virtual race and tell someone the route you’re running in case of an emergency.
