Lincoln Park and Pequannock Valley Rotary Foundation Beavertown - PVR 2020 5K Run/Walk

Lincoln Park & Pequannock Valley Rotary
Beavertown - PVR 2020 5K Run/Walk


SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2020


The Pequannock Valley Rotary sponsors an annual race that is usually held in June, but has decided to partner with the Borough of Lincoln Park to combine our races this year!
 
COVID-19 has changed so many of our lives in so many ways, the way we eat, the way we shop, the way we learn, the way we simply greet each day or say hello to each other.  The Borough and the Rotary made a decision to move forward with their annual 5ks as we are confident that we can safely allow two traditions to continue, even during the pandemic. 


SAME DAY REGISTRATIONS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED THIS YEAR!

PAL logo

PAL Sports intend to follow the social distancing rules that were put in place by the State of New Jersey as well as the Borough of Lincoln Park. With that being said, both players and parents MUST adhere to the 6 feet social distancing rules. While the children are playing a sport, they are not required to wear a mask, but while they are on the bench or the sideline, they are required to wear a mask, as are the coaches. There will be ABSOLUTELY NO SHARING OF EQUIPMENT.  Coaches will have sanitizer with them.
 

The PAL takes this virus very seriously, and the coaches will be required to enforce social distancing and mask wearing regulations. Temperature checks of ALL participants will be taken prior to any practice or game.  As a reminder to parents, if your child is not feeling well for any reason, please keep him/her home.  The safety of your son or daughter, as well as the other players and volunteer coaches is of the utmost importance.  We thank you for your help and cooperation!
