COVID 19 Precautions

Programming will follow Stage 3 guidelines provided by Alberta Health Services.

   ● All racers/volunteers/spectators must carry a mask with them to use in a situation
     where physical distancing cannot occur. Masks are recommended while accessing
     building facilities.
   ● Where possible, consider giving yourself and each other 2 metres of distance.
   ● All participants must complete the Alberta Health Safety Checklist before taking
     part. AHS Daily covid-19 Checklist
   ● Anyone who has been in recent contact with someone with symptoms of
     COVID-19 may not participate or attend any events.
   ● Please stay at home if you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19.
   ● Riders must wear masks before approaching and while interacting with staff, race
     officials and volunteers if they cannot maintain a minimum 2m distance.
   ● All riders and volunteers must bring their own food and drinks.

● Failure to comply with AHS/ABA regulations and/or the instructions of an official
     will result in removal from the event and may result in further sanctions, penalties
     or fines.
   ● For everyone’s safety and comfort, all Holders will be required to wear masks.

      These precautions are in place to protect all participants and officials as everyone
      has a different level of risk and comfort as we progress to a back to near normal
      race year. We hope these guidelines will help to alleviate concerns and/or
      differing opinions around stages of protection from the current pandemic.

 conditions become dangerous by either their decision, or the air quality reading
 becomes 7 or higher.
