Some Important Points:

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is encouraging families to get outside for physical and mental health. If you choose to go outside, DO practice social distancing of at least six feet from other members of the public and DO NOT touch any outdoor equipment. As soon as you get home, DO wash your hands for at least 20 seconds. If you feel sick DO stay home!

DO NOT meet up with a bunch of other people to complete a Virtual River Run challenge. The CDC recommends you avoid any large gatherings. If you need a running buddy, DO encourage family members who you are social distancing with to get up and get moving with you.

Some trails are closed. DO check to make sure an area is open to the general public before going that way. It is recommended you DO NOT travel outside of your own neighborhood or community.

DO stay up-to-date on the re-opening phases of your state and what it means for your ability to access certain trails and parks

DO avoid popular walking routes in favor of less crowded alternatives

DO join the virtual community! VIRTUAL RIVER RUN COMMUNITY

DO tell everyone you know to sign-up so our community can support the Food Bank of Northern Nevada, the Nevada Humane Society, and Feed Our Heroes!

DO use this as a motivation to take a break from binge-watching shows and scrolling through the Internet

DO post a picture with your hard-earned medal using #VirtualRiverRun

DO know your limits. If you are struggling to complete a challenge by the deadline, don’t overdo it. We want you to finish at your own pace, and we want you to succeed. We will still get you your medal, and, more importantly, the local charity will still get your donation!

DO have fun!

By registering for the Virtual River Run, you are agreeing to comply with all CDC, Federal, State, and Local Government restrictions and recommendations regarding social distancing and the prevention of the spread of COVID-19.
