The 36th annual Moonlight Chase will be modeled after the Bix 7, who is working in conjunction with Genesis Health Systems, the Scott County Health Department, the CDC, and major races around the country. Race organizers will be strongly encouraging race participants to mask up in the starting line and immediately following the race. They will also make adjustments at the start and finish line to allow a significant amount of increased distancing. They will still be providing post-race snacks and beverages for participants but they will be provided by masked and gloved volunteers.
Thank you to "Kline Sewer & Drain - When Drains Don't Work, We Do", for sponsoring the race and prizes!
