***A few friendly reminders:
- Prior to the Run - Please maintain social distancing between members prior to the start of the run.
- During the Run - Please remain at least 6 feet apart from other runners - consider staggering your position so you are not directly beside each other. Please make an effort to stagger your pace groups, so as to limit the number of runners in each group. Always be careful, and on Sundays we suggest extra caution to watch for and avoid congestion on the Seymour-Lieberman Trail and the Memorial Drive sidewalk.
- Hydrating - Members are encouraged to carry their own hydration. For the Sunday runs, individual water bottles will be provided along the route at the usual water stops.
- After the Run - Please continue to maintain a distance of 6 feet following runs during socializing and stretching. Consider the use of face coverings should conversations become prolonged.
