ASSOCIATION NEWS
& ANNOUNCEMENTS


We want you to know regarding the Corona Virus we will be taking our direction based on information from federal, state, and CDC recommendations.  We will also take into consideration communications from USATF.  Most likely any decision that needs to be made will be made for us and we will communicate that information to you.

As you already know, schools are closed for 2 weeks.  Governor Tom Wolf yesterday announced that mitigation efforts put into effect over the past few days in Montgomery, Delaware, Bucks, Chester and Allegheny counties will now be in effect statewide, beginning at 12:01 a.m., Tuesday, March 17.    

The new restrictions includes gathering of 10 or more individuals.  It  is recommended that you not hold practices during this time period.

As of now, recommendations from the CDC,   in accordance with its guidance for large events and mass gatherings, recommends that for the next 8 weeks, organizers (whether groups or individuals) cancel or postpone in-person events that consist of 50 or more people throughout the United States.    The 8 weeks brings us into May and could potentially impact our summer track season.       

Our current plan is to ride out this 8 weeks and monitor additional recommendations from the appropriate authorities.   We will communicate updates as things progress.
