2021 Races

The safety and health of all racers and volunteers, and our larger local community, are of upmost importance.  While all risk cannot be eliminated, all in-person races will have extensive risk mitigation protocols in place.  Each race has its own venue-specific COVID operations plan, which can be found on each race website.  In addition, most events also have a virtual option.
