2021 COVID AMR Modifications

 Registration- Masks required for Number pickup

  Social distancing advised- 2 Lines for Pre- Reg (A-M and N-Z Last Name) and 1 additional line for day of registration

*  Mask may be removed for run warmup, after the starting countdown begins and running up and running/hiking down the mountain

 Start Line- Race Director will work with Park Ranger on a “Corral” format for proper distancing- With boxes created with pavement chalk, the athletes will be able to line up at the start line in a proper social distanced format.  Athletes will wear mask in corral and be instructed to remove mask approximately 30 seconds before the start of the event, similar to what has worked well for word cup level cycling and running competition at venues across the US and Europe.  They will carry their masks with them in the instance that they must exit the race due to injury or otherwise be unable to social distance after the conclusion of the event.

 Halfway Water stop- While we may be able to have an official at the halfway point, we will only have water available at the start and finish lines (With sanitizer available as well).  If you think you will need water for this race, please bring it with you!

 Finish Line- Athletes will be required to wear a mask once they are done the competition *if social distancing is not available, such as at the water station or picking up their food and/or prize at the registration table

 Cars- Limited cards are allowed to drive to the summit (less 20) before the start of the ace.  Any family/friends looking to drive to summit may be responsible for VT state park fees and absolutely must follow the same guidelines as the rest of the park users.  Any athletes looking for a ride down the mountain must travel within their bubble, i.e. with the same household or group that they traveled to the event with- No carpooling and bring your mask for the car ride, you’ll have it with you anyhow!

Post Race- Athletes who choose to purchase post race food will have individually packed food to pick up at the finish line- Awards will be handed to individuals as they finish the event by the race team or mailed to participants following the race- There will be no post race gathering this year.
