I recently ran my second “in- person” race during this pandemic. It looked very different but was still fun. As a race director I know all the hard work that goes into putting on a race. Putting on a race (now) with the current guidelines takes race directing/planning to the next level of WORK! As I runner, I greatly appreciate all the planning & thought that went into making this race happen(safely). Cable Bridge Run 2020 •They offered a virtual race option AND in-person •They had 2 days to run the in-person race vs. one day •Only 10 people at the start line in 2 minute waves. Or like me... I was the only person at the start line. •They asked people not to gather around the start/finish. I was impressed everyone did really well at staying in their cars until their start time and leaving after they finished. •Face coverings at the start & finish •Packet pickup was drive thru at a separate location. … Pasco Recreation Services I give a 10/10 for putting on a race during a pandemic!
