DAR 2020 Events Update
DAR 2020 Events Update
DAR Athletes,
As we continue to watch and react to the fast-paced changes created by the COVID19 we want to keep you informed regarding the status of DAR races.
Our priority is the health and welfare of you, whether a participant, volunteer, staff member or spectator.
Second, is that we conduct the scheduled events on or as near the original date as possible. Many are simply moving their events to later in the year. Great idea, except it floods summer and fall events, disrupting your training and participation.
DAR is working to provide as many updates as possible thru our website, registration site and social media. Because mandates and restrictions change daily, we will announce our final decisions as close to the event as possible, while allowing you ample time to adjust your schedule.
We recognize a public crisis of this magnitude has not been experienced by Americans since 1941. However, we are confident the outcome will be successful. In the meantime, stay safe, stay healthy and keep training!
