Health & Safety UpdatePig Works is excited to be able to host our in-person event in October. We continue to keep health and safety top of mind and have reduced capacities for all races. Additionally, we are asking staff, vendors, volunteers and participants to take these precautions over the Flying Pig and Queen Bee weekend:
• Masks will be required for all attendees while inside at the P&G Health and Fitness Expo, on relay buses and in our medical tents. Hand sanitizer will be readily available at various locations throughout the weekend.
• We ask that all vendors and volunteers wear a mask throughout the weekend. Additionally, we ask that anyone serving serving samples, food and fluids at the expo wear gloves as well.
We are happy to provide gloves if you don’t have your own. Please visit us at our help desk located by the loading dock entrance in hall B.
Please be advised that revisions may need to be made if the City, County or State release further requirements prior to race weekend.
