Event Description

**This race is subject to going virtual at any time due to potential impacts of Corona Virus**

Join Brunning Endurance this spring for a 5k run and walk that celebrates our wonderful downtown.
Running Middletonian 5k is a great way to show your support to downtown businesses. 

A percentage of your registration fee will go to Downtown Middletown, Inc. A non profit, community led organization that is dedicated to revitalizing our beautiful downtown.

With registration every runner will get a finishers medal. New this year we have created a custom race buff that will be given out on a 'first come first serve basis' while supplies last! So make sure to register early to guarantee your buff!

**Due to changes and precautions we must take during the pandemic we will have a wave start this year. When you register you pick a wave that will determine the time you start the race. Waves will have no more than 10 participants and will take off every 5 minutes.

We ask that after you pick up your racing chip you stay in or near your car until it is almost time for your wave to begin. (Still be sure to give yourself enough time to pick up and attach your chip) This will help us to keep all participants socially distant.

Live results will be posted throughout the event and winners will receive their medal in the mail! 

Details on our Covid safety plan is listed below.

5k Covid safety plan:

-There will be no race day sign ups, online registration only. 

-After registration has closed, runners will receive a specific start time and be asked not to show up until right before that time. (Still be sure to give yourself enough time to pick up and attach your chip)

-We will stagger starting times to limit 10 people per heat, spaced 6 ft apart, leaving every 5-10 minutes. This will ensure space between participants and reduce the amount of congregating before the event. Once runners cross the finish line, they will be asked to promptly depart from the event location so as not to congregate afterward.

-We will provide sanitizer at the beginning, and end of the race, and remind everyone to wear a mask until on the course.

-All staff and volunteers will wear masks and gloves the entire time, and maintain a distance of 6 ft from each other and registrants. Any water distributed will be in factory-sealed, single-use bottles and picked up by the runner themself.
