COVID Plan Update

---

Due to the surge of COVID Delta variant, in our area, we thought it is best to update and address Tri CLE's safety plans because ultimately safety is our number one priority for participants, volunteers, spectators, and staff.

The race leadership has had extensive conversations with University Hospitals Sports Medicine Doctors. While there are not any mandates for outdoor spaces at this time, we will be putting some precautions in place.

• The race requests that everyone do their best to social distance at all times. We are doing our best to spread out the race sites as much as we can to allow for distancing but will rely on everyone to manage their personal space. 
• We cannot enforce mask-wearing however we strongly encourage all participants, volunteers, and spectators to wear a mask regardless of vaccination status when social distancing is not possible including shuttles, transitions, and in the swim cue line.  
• Anyone who has not received a vaccine is strongly encouraged to wear a mask at all times. (Not while swimming) 
• Sanitization stations with disposable masks will be available at Edgewater Park and the North Coast Harbor, including near restrooms, aid stations, finish line food, and expo/packet pickup areas.
• All Volunteers working at aid stations and finish line with food will be required to wear a mask and gloves.
• Please dispose of masks in the appropriate waste bins and keep our city clean.
• Our staff will lead by example and has been advised to wear a mask in crowds and close proximity to others.
