COVID-19 Update
Dear Runners,
A few weeks ago we put out a survey to gauge the level of interest for the running of the 2020 Sandia Crest Marathon. Based on the results, 80% of our participants or potential participants said they would run with us in 2020! We love the enthusiasm, and cannot thank you enough for your support for our first two years.
Unfortunately, the bright light of the 2020 SCM has been swallowed up in the shadows of COVID-19. As a result of COVID-19, we have been unable to obtain required permits with the local jurisdictions that would allow our event to operate. With respect to our athletes who have already started to train and book travel and accommodations, we are disappointed to announce the 2020 Sandia Crest Marathon will not take place this year. All those who have signed up will be given the option to defer their entry fee over the next two years – with no deferral or change fees. Please email meritracestartline@gmail.com to process your deferral.
We will announce the dates for our 2021 event in the next few months so that our athletes can begin making plans for a 2021 SCM. Again, we thank you for your support, and understanding in this matter.
Logging miles with you in COVID,
MeritRaceSeries
