Health/Safety Tips: 

  • Practice social distancing and remain at least 6 feet apart from the closest runner to you
  • If you see another runner coming towards you, try crossing the street if it is empty
  • Avoid touching your face, specifically your eyes, nose, and mouth
  • Bring a washable cloth with you to wipe away any sweat
  • Wear something with pockets so that you avoid touching your phone as much as possible while working out; bacteria from items you may have touched can transfer onto your phone
  • Avoid touching streetlight or crosswalk poles if you can
  • Use a reusable water bottle to avoid public water fountains
  • Leave your running shoes outside of your living space
  • Shower immediately after your work out and place your clothes in the washer or your hamper for washing

 

Volunteer Information

Join in the fun as an event volunteer. We are in need of students, faculty, and staff to assist with event needs such as set up, breakdown, on-site registration and to serve as route monitors cheering on the participants as they race around campus. You can volunteer as an individual or in a group with your friends. This is a great way to be a part of the action, support Student Life, and earn community service hours if needed. If you are interested or have any questions, please contact spevents@mail.sfsu.edu.
