The COVID-19 pandemic has been an undeniable challenge to produce in-person race events. Here in Missoula, the ability to conduct in-person events is based on the criteria established under the Missoula City County Health Orders.
One of the challenges of leadership is having to make difficult and/or unpopular decisions for the greater good. To that end, Run Wild Missoula will not produce races in the current environment unless we are completely comfortable that we have done our best to protect the safety and mitigated the risk for our members, race participants, and greater Missoula community. Further, we will not promote or support events by other organizations that have not demonstrated that they are following basic safety and risk management guidelines
