New England Regional (July 9 to 11) Updates:
*We are still taking entries* Please feel free to email Val Duff to enter if you have not yet done so!

COVID-19 Policies
We are updating our policies from what was published in the premium to meet the current best guidance which says that vaccinated individuals may be maskless indoors if they so choose. We will still require that unvaccinated individuals wear a mask when indoors (including while running) to protect themselves, other unvaccinated individuals, and individuals who are immunocompromised. Safety comes first.

If you have been vaccinated, please be sure that Val Duff has received proof of your vaccination status. The easiest thing to do is to email her a copy of your card/record before the trial. You may present it at check in, but sending ahead of time will dramatically speed up the check in process. If we had your card on file for the May trial, we still have it on file.

Thank you for all your efforts in helping us to keep everyone safe!

06/16/2021

*Regionals Update* Don't forget: Thursday, June 17th is closing!!! (THAT'S TOMORROW!) While Val will take some late entries this weekend we really need your entry info ASAP and if you want a t-shirt tomorrow is the deadline to order!
