UPDATE: COVID – 19 Precautions and Considerations
After the recent announcements by the Alberta Government, we have decided to make COVID-19 vaccination mandatory for the Calgary First Responders Half Marathon.
Registered participants who are not fully vaccinated* are required to provide a negative COVID-19 test result for a test administered within 72 hours of attending the event. If you have symptoms you must stay home and you should book your test online with the AHS assessment tool or call Health Link at 811.
Official vaccine records are available on MyHealth Records.
Additionally, we request participants wear masks while gathering before and after the race. We are implementing these measures to ensure the safety of all participants, volunteers and staff at the event. We are putting these guidelines in place with yuor health and safety in mind. By implementing mandatory proof of vaccination, it also allows us to be exempt from any current restrictions - this includes allowing us to host mass starts!
This was a decision we have implemented for our Edmonton Heartbeat Run, Edmonton First Responders Half, and will be doing so for any other events we host in 2021.
Any currently registered athletes that are uncomfortable with this decision have the ability to switch to the virtual race or are asked to contact us to have their race credit rolled over to the 2022 event.
At package pickup, please bring proof of vaccination. We are setup to accept the new QR code, or a printout of your vaccine record works as well!
DONATION
Please support the Canadian Mental Health Association, Alberta Division.
Additional donations can be made with your Online Registration or by Cheque with your Drop Off Entry form.
