We plan to do so with safety and health measures in mind. The race will be gin with a wave start to spread everyone out a little more at the start of the race. There will not be an awards ceremony or age group awards this year. Everyone will receive a finisher’s medal, but the medals will remain in packaging to allow for limited contact. Presenting sponsor Norman Re gional Health System will be stationed at the finish line to assist with health needs. Rather than gathering at the finish line, we encourage you to cheer your favorite par ticipants all along our 3.1 mile course. We are still exploring what the water stops will look like this year. In addition to our tradi tional in-person race, we also have the option for participants to run it virtually. This option will still include a finisher’s shirt and a finisher’s medal. We will offer more guid ance between now and race day. To register visit: moorewarrun.com.
