2023 COVID Precautions

We successfully hosted the race in-person last year and plan to do so again this year!

​We are still discussing specific details including some of the changes made last year re: rolling start, no water on the course, and virtual race options.

​We will provide updates as any decisions are made to ensure the safety and comfort of all registrants, volunteers, vendors, and spectators.
