COVID-19 SPORTS PRACTICE GUIDANCE FOR YOUTH AND ADULTS <br />regular communication strategy (both pre -event and during the event). In event venue areas <br />(particularly areas not enclosed), the event should post prominent signage throughout the area that <br />informs participants of the following: <br />Not to enter if they are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19. <br />Hygiene, face covering and social distancing requirements and instructions. <br />Applicable venue attendance limits and instruction to avoid clustering. <br />Spectators. Race courses should be designed to eliminate the potential of spectators if organizers <br />cannot ensure the venue requirements (including spectator capacity) will be followed at all times. <br />Secluded courses (roads or trails/parks in areas with low foot and road traffic congestion) are <br />preferred to discourage attracting crowds. <br />Social gathering limits for social distancing apply when races occur in public roadways, trails, and <br />other areas that are not a defined and controlled venue. <br />Organizers must take steps to discourage and limit spectator gatherings in key high traffic <br />areas (e.g., posting signage, monitoring and disbanding unauthorized spectator areas, etc.). <br />Organizers are responsible for unauthorized gathering of spectators around the race course <br />if they do not take reasonable steps to prevent these gatherings. <br />Organizers may not set up seating or gathering areas, or otherwise encourage the gathering <br />of spectators without following the Stay Safe Guidance for Entertainment and Meeting <br />Venues (https://staysafe.mn.gov/industry-guidance/entertainment.usp). <br />If the race is held in a defined outdoor venue (for example, at a track at a public school or in a <br />stadium), spectators are permitted, but the venue must follow the occupancy limits and all <br />other requirements outlined in the Stay Safe Guidance for Entertainment and Meeting Venues <br />(https://staysafe.mn.gov/industry-guidance/entertainment.*sp). <br />Vendors and attractions. If an event is not being held in a defined venue (for example, if a course is <br />located on a public roadway, trail, or other public right of way), vendors or <br />recreational/entertainment attractions coordinated by the event organizers are not permitted <br />because they encourage the congregation of spectators. <br />Transportation. If providing or organizing transportation associated with the race, race organizers <br />must also consider limitations and all other requirements outlined in COVID-19 Preparedness Plan <br />Guidance: Reauirements for PassenEer Transportation <br />(http://dli.mn.gov/sites/default/files/pdf/COVID 19 preparedness plan requirements guidelines <br />passenger transportation.pdf). <br />Event policies. The event may apply additional, lawful policies that are more stringent than required <br />by this or other guidance or executive orders at its discretion. <br />13 of 18 <br />
