Safety Precautions and Procedures
- Social Distancing: This is one of the simplest ways we can keep everyone safe during group workouts. We ask that you wait in your vehicle until the workout starts, or separate into very small groups (6 foot distance from the next person), and return to your vehicle promptly after the workout.
- Masks On: Masks are not required while you are running or walking, but we do ask that you wear the mask when with the group for warm ups/cool downs, when stopped for water breaks as a group, when talking with the training team, etc.
- Rolling Start Times for Group Runs: Depending on the number of participants that attend a group workout, we may utilize wave starts to effectively distance runners during the course. It may be used some weeks and not others. Our goal is to keep everyone as safe as possible.
- Water Coolers: We will not have group water coolers for the workouts. We ask that you carry your own handheld water bottle or use a running pack.
- Safe Running Etiquette: Spread out and give other runners/walkers space. We ask that you limit running in closely packed groups whenever possible. Please give other pedestrians and runners a wide clearance when passing. Do not spit, cough, or sneeze near the group- if you feel the urge, please remove yourself a safe distance from the group.
- Not feeling well? Stay home. If you have any cold or flu symptoms, or just aren't feeling 100%, please stay home or complete the workout solo. Take care of yourself, and protect the health and safety of the rest of the group.
