March 20 & 21, 2021
In order to have the safest event possible, we will have two race dates to pick from on March 20 & 21 since Vanderburgh county is currently at the Orange Level. During the registration process, you will pick your race date. If numbers are low on both dates, we will combine and have the event on March 20. If Vanderburgh moves out of the Orange and into Yellow or Blue, all participants will race on March 20. An email will be sent out if either scenario happens.

Benefactor: Viking Youth Tennis Program
Additional Info: Thanks to Covid, it is a lot more difficult to host an in-person race. We have all intentions to have an actual in-person event and not a virtual race. Here are a few scenarios of what could happen before the race.
1.) There will be a max of 50 participants on each race date.
2.) If numbers for both days are low, everyone will run on Saturday.
3.) If Vanderburgh County would be in the Yellow or Blue everyone will run on Saturday.
4.) If 10 days out from race day looks like there will be issues for the event due to Covid we will cancel and 100% refunds will go out.
5.) If within 10 days of race day the county goes red and the health department intervenes and denies we can do the event, it will go to Virtual as shirts/insurance/awards/etc will be ordered by this time.
**No refunds will be processed for any participant as all sales are final.
