Race policies

The Fort Wayne Running Club plans to follow guidance and implement safety measures for the benefit of all participants. The following policies will be in place for this event:

The race will be limited to pre-registered runners. We hope you can join us, so sign up soon!
Runners are encouraged to take all necessary safety precautions on their own. Please take the personal precautions you feel are necessary for your own personal safety as we come together as a running community.
For the safety of all participants and your beloved fur babies, no pets will be permitted at this event or on the race course.
We will have timing mats at the start, so we encourage runners and walkers to self-seed based on projected paces.
We will have a water stop along the course and water for you at the finish since July can be warm.
All registered runners will need to agree to an updated waiver.
We recommend that those feeling sick, ill, with fever, or recently having been in contact with anyone recovering from illness not participate.
We also recommend that people from high-risk groups consult their physician before participating.
