IMPORTANT COVID 19 Guidelines:

 **We will be following / implementing restrictions based on current COVID-19 Guidelines from WVSSAC at the time of the race.

**We will NOT be selling admission tickets. These tickets (Household Members and Grandparents only) must be purchased ahead of time through your school’s Athletic Director. A check must be provided for spectators’ tickets as you pickup your team’s packet.

**Coaches should remind athletes to remain with their school and not to intermingle with athletes from other schools. Runners should plan to cool down and leave the event upon finishing. We are really stressing this due to parking and the number of athletes entered to race.

**Coaches should encourage athletes to be dressed for the meet prior to arriving.  

**Coaches should remind and encourage all athletes and spectators to wear face masks whenever they are not competing and are not social distancing.  Coaches and athletes will be required to have a face mask while in the bull pen/waiting zone. Spectators will NOT be allowed near starting line.

**Each race should have no more than 84 runners entered.
