Coronavirus Update for Go Beyond Racing

Welp. Sigh. We write this on Friday May 8th, the day after Oregon’s Governor announced the extension of a ban of sporting events and of gatherings of 25 or more people through September. All of our Spring races were already cancelled or postponed to late summer/fall due to the COVID19 pandemic and now it is impacting some of those and our summer events too. This is devastating to us and so many of you too. This is certainly frustrating, but we are going to try to stay positive because the restrictions are for the good of the whole society and when we really think about that, we can make these sacrifices.

As we work through the details of the restrictions on our events, we’ll update here for each. Consider this your go-to resource for updates and please check back here to stay informed. 

STATUS AS OF: September 5

Because we just got this news yesterday (5/7), we need a little time to work through how we’ll handle each race cancellation. When we have information to share, here’s what we will do:

• Email all registered and waitlisted runners (watch your inbox AND your spam folders of the email that is on your Ultrasignup account)
• Update the race’s webpage 
• Update this article (which is on our website’s homepage)
• Post on the race’s Facebook page
• Post in the race’s Facebook event
• Email volunteers and service providers

The best and preferred way to contact us is via email through our Contact Form. Social media comments, DMs, tweets, and IMs are harder for us to keep on top of given the volume of social accounts we have and the speed that these things get buried by newer.

So, not sure about you, but our summer just opened up. Time to plan some adventure runs and trail work, with 23 or fewer friends!
