There is no vaccine requirement at our event (unless the City or County of Los Angeles imposes one between now and Thanksgiving).
Our event is completely out doors (obviously) and so is the pre-race packet pick up and the post race party. There is no risk of COVID transmission in this type of environment so no masks are necessary but you can certainly wear one if it makes you feel more comfortable or if your face muscles just need a break from smiling so much – since you will be having such a great time!
If you do decide to wear a mask, Trevor recommends incorporating it into your costume and showing up early to compete for big prizes in our Costume Contest on race morning.
Yes. To pick up a packet for another participant please print out and have them sign the Dash Waiver Form (Every participant is required to have a signed waiver) and bring it with you to Packet Pick-up along with a copy of their government issued I.D.
