The health and safety of our employees, volunteers, and runners are top of mind amid concerns about the spread of COVID-19. We are monitoring expert recommendations, including guidance from the CDC, and advice of the federal, state, and local officials.

Thanksgiving Point staff and volunteers will all be taking extra precautions to ensure the safety of our runners.

Masks

• Masks are be required in the start/finish area.

Social Distancing

• Runners will be sent out in waves to keep with social distancing guidelines
• Signs will be placed throughout the start/finish area and at the starting lines reminding runners to maintain adequate social distancing
• Runners will start in a controlled runner chute by finish times. This will be marked out via signage and ground paint.

Sanitization

• The food at the finish line will be prepackaged for individual servings
• Cups at aid station will be spaced out enough to ensure runners only touch their own cup.
• Hand sanitizer stations will be provided.
• Medals will be placed on a table individually for the runners to grab.

Stay Home if You're Sick

• Please be mindful and stay home if you are symptomatic (having fever, cough, or shortness of breath) or have recently traveled to a high- risk country/areas.
• High-risk individuals should continue to follow stricter protocols and exercise all possible caution. Your safety is important to us.

Your safety is important to us and we encourage you to stay informed and up to date on COVID-19. Please be mindful and stay home if you are symptomatic (having fever, cough, or shortness of breath) or have recently traveled to a high-risk country.

We value our runner’s training and time. We also understand the gravity of this health situation and we thank you for your continued support.
