The Coronavirus Impact on Running and Racing

We’re heading into spring, a busy time of year for runners from casual to elite. All those St Patricks Day races are just about here, followed by Easter, Mothers Day, Memorial Day and more. Large race venues create the type of crowd settings that public health organizations have concerns about. Runners World published an article recently about this topic and included information about some high-profile races and how they may be impacted by the virus.
