1.) There will be a max of 100 participants.
2.) 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.
3.) 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.
