Rules to note:

  • Face Coverings

    • Cloth Face coverings must be worn to the start area. It is recommended that athletes have a method of keeping their face covering with them during the race

      • For example, a safety pin could be used to secure the cloth face covering to the uniform, face-covering pulled down and around the neck, or tucked into a waistband.  This would also facilitate the resumption of wearing face-covering promptly after the finish of the race

  • Designated Team Area

    • Locations must be designated for teams to remain when not warming up, racing, or cooling down.  It is on the course map.

    • Designated Team Area must be for competing athletes and coaches only.  No spectators or parents allowed in the Designated Team Area

    • Designated Team Areas should be clearly marked by painted boxes, roped areas, cones, etc.

    • Minimum spacing between each Designated Team Area must be at least 10 feet apart
