Many of us have realized from our social isolation, how much we rely on our run buddy relationships. We’ve done a great job running virtually together #solidaritywithcoachamypt and staying in touch with our Zoom Coffee and Zoom Happy Hours (thank you JJ). And now, the wait for group runs is almost over!

Our local government is lifting some of the restrictions for group gatherings which allows us to resume our RRKC group runs on Saturday, June 6th. It’s been way too long since we’ve seen your smiling faces in person and we can’t wait to be reunited. However, we will be implementing some changes and precautions as your health and safety is still our top priority. Read on….

Self Screening and Transparency

Runners with or exposed to anyone with active cold or flu like symptoms (fever, cough, sneezing) within the last 2 weeks may NOT attend group runs. Runners that do attend group runs must agree to notify Coach Amy immediately if they develop symptoms related to or are diagnosed with COVID-19.

Checking IN/OUT

Homebase will have a sign in sheet, hand sanitizer and maps only. No fluids or aid. Hard copies of maps will still be available before the run, but digital maps are also available on our events page. Runners must use sanitizer before handling any supplies at homebase. When you sign in, you are agreeing that you have read and understand our Covid-19 policy and exercise liability waiver.

Maintaining Sanitary Aid Stations

Cleanliness of our aid stations has always been important, but now with COVID-19, it is even more vital.

  • All volunteers involved with preparing aid stations will be screened to make sure they do not have cold or flu like symptoms (fever, cough), or have been exposed to anyone with these symptoms within the last 2 weeks.

  • Aid station volunteers are taking extra sanitary precautions when preparing drink coolers and prepping supplies.

  • All supplies, coolers, and spouts at the aid stations will be wiped down with an alcohol wipe or cleaning wipe concluding set-up.

  • All runners must use hand sanitizer at each aid station prior to touching any of the supplies provided, including cups and spigots.

  • If you are more comfortable running with your own fluids, please do so.

RRKC monthly memberships will be reactivated in June. As a gift to current and potential new members, our two Saturday runs in May are FREE! The first five runners to sign up for a monthly membership will receive a FREE reusable, collapsible cup which is sanitary and eco friendly! Mileage and maps are on our events page for each of our weekly runs.

Friends and community have a way of motivating and supporting us, especially when we’re working towards challenging goals. With races either canceled or postponed, we've had to adjust both our training schedules and the way we think about our training. Join us and get re-energized with fellow runners to help establish new goals and move forward into our new reality. Hope to see you soon!
