A few friendly reminders:


  • Prior to the Run - Please maintain social distancing between members prior to the start of the run. On Sunday we will have a new starting location, the Memorial Park Running Trails Center, in order to avoid the crowds at the Tennis Center.

  • During the Run - Please remain at least 6 feet apart from other runners - consider staggering your position so you are not directly beside each other. Please make an effort to stagger your pace groups, so as to limit the number of runners in each group. On Sunday we are suggesting a modified route which avoids the congestion on the Seymour-Lieberman Trail and the Memorial Drive sidewalk. 

  • Hydrating - Members are encouraged to carry their own hydration. For the Sunday runs, individual water bottles will be provided along the route at the usual water stops. 

  • Post-Run - Please continue to maintain a distance of 6 feet following runs during socializing and stretching. Consider the use of face coverings should conversations become prolonged. 


If you are feeling ill, have a fever, or have been exposed to an individual who has tested positive for COVID-19, please do not attend club runs for 2 weeks.
