Sunday, July

• Please follow best practices on personal hygiene, including regular handwashing (vigorous handwashing with water and soap for 20 seconds or application of hand sanitizer consisting of at least 60% alcohol), avoiding touching the eyes, mouth or nose, and covering your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing. • Individuals who are considered “high risk,” which includes but is not limited to underlying cardiac and pulmonary conditions as well as individuals with immunocompromised states, should consult with their physician and/or reconsider attending or participating in the event.

The Event Alert System communicates the status of course conditions to participants leading up to and on race day via email updates, color-coded signs, PA announcements and flags. Alert levels range from Low to Moderate to High to Extreme based primarily on weather conditions, as well as other factors.

All participants should familiarize themselves with the Event Alert System before the race, remain alert for directions from race officials throughout the event and take precautions to prepare properly for varying weather conditions on race day.

The virtual BTN Big 10K kicks off on Sunday, July 10 and culminates on Saturday, July 16 as Big 10 fans compete with friends and family in the neighborhoods across the city and around the world.

Everyone is encouraged to read the following considerations when planning their virtual race.

• Create a hydration plan for your run to ensure you are drinking enough fluids and utilizing both water and a sports drink to stay hydrated and maintain your sodium levels. • Pay attention to your local weather forecast and dress for the appropriate weather conditions.

Note that conditions may change throughout the duration of your run. If conditions don’t look ideal for your race, follow local guidance and consider participating at a later date. • When planning your course route, follow guidance from local government and public health officials to safely complete the distance of your choice in your own community. Participants are encouraged to obey traffic signals and identified pedestrian crossings during their run. • Most importantly, stay within your physical limits and listen to your body during your run. Do not ignore pain and/or discomfort that may result from your participation. If necessary, stop your run and seek medical attention especially if you experience new or persistent symptoms that do not resolve with rest or are abnormal for yourself.

BTN Big 10K virtual race participants can access a digital event bib number on the event website (btnbig10k.com).

The virtual race bib is a commemorative bib number and will not grant participants access to the inperson race on Sunday, July 10.
