New Safety Measures

To keep all participants safe from COVID-19, we will follow a new set of rules at Fleet Feet training programs group training runs. These include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • When you arrive at the group training run, check in with your coach. Your coach will ask you to certify that you have not been exposed to COVID-19. Please wear a mask or face coveing during the check in process if you are unable to distance by 6 feet or more.
  •  
  • Once you are checked in please maintain a 6-foot distance from other participants throughout the group training run. Please refrain from hugs, high fives, and other physical contact.
  • Shared amenities will no longer be available at training programs group training runs. That means no cooler of water, no electrolytes, no foam rollers, etc. Please plan to bring everything you need to succeed.
  • You will also not be able to leave any personal items in shared areas during your group training run. Please plan to bring all of your things with you, or plan to keep your things in your car.
  • You will not be required to wear a face mask during your workout, but you are welcome to wear one if you would like to. If you plan to wear a mask, make sure you can breathe well enough to exercise while wearing it.
  • Due to increased respiration after exercising, trainees will not be permitted into the store immediately after group training runs.
  • Use the bathroom before you arrive at the group training run. Bathrooms will not be available at any group training runs unless otherwise noted.

 

Get ready to sweat lot, learn some new tips and have a blast running through the different parks and neighborhoods of Chico!
