                COVID-19 ANNOUNCEMENT
Dear Running Friends,
        It is often said, "When life hands you lemons...make lemon-aide".  Considering the challenges and adversity we are currently facing, we must all take these words to heart and do our best to be optimistic and look toward a happier and healthier future.
        Over these past few months, we have been monitoring the COVID-19 situation and conferring with local police and city officials as we plan for future events.  Of course, our decisions must be based on what is best to insure the health and safety of our running community and, to that end, we must cancel our "in person" events for the remainder of 2020.  This decision was not made lightly. As the number of positive COVID cases continue to rise countywide, all concerts, sporting events and galas are being rescheduled to 2021.
        But in the midst of this pandemic, the causes which these races support are still in need of our assistance. It is the mission of Palm Springs Marathon Runners to continue to support local causes and, to that end, we call upon you to join us.
        The SHAMROCK 5K, RUN FOR IKE 5K and the WILD TURKEY TROT 5K will still take place as VIRTUAL RACES.  All participants will receive their race goodies (including shirts, beautiful medals and race specific swag) by mail or home delivery.  We will waive the  mailing charge (within the continental U.S.) for these events.  We encourage you to participate as a virtual runner and continue to stay fit, have fun and show your support of our local causes.  Invite friends to join you as you socially distance and walk or run your 5K.  Send us your virtual race photos and we will share them on our Facebook page.
        Listed below is the "swag" you will earn for each race...
SHAMROCK 5K - Benefiting the Palm Springs Lions Club school's vision testing and eyeglass program:  Tech T-shirt, St. Patty's Day hat, finisher medal and bib.
RUN FOR IKE 5K - Benefiting the Palm Springs Police Department K-9 Team:  Tech T-shirt, awesome finisher medal, cinch bag, bib and mini plush.
WILD TURKEY TROT 5K - Benefiting the Mizell Center MEALS ON WHEELS Program:  Super cool long sleeved tech T-shirt, zany turkey hat, awesome finisher medal and race bib.
     We know that many of you will have small gatherings for the holidays or are looking for something special to do in a safe atmosphere.  Many have found that staying at home has interfered with their personal fitness.  These events are a sure fired way to get back on track, reward yourself with some awesome bling and continue to support our local causes.
        For those already registered for our races - do nothing!  We will mail out your packages  or provide local deliveries to your homes beginning in early October.  If you haven't yet registered, please consider joining our team, participating virtually while supporting our local causes...and tell your friends!  Please have them visit us at Runpalmsprings.com.
        Hopefully, we can resume our "in person" events for the 2021 season.  Until then, stay healthy and happy- run virtually and thank you for being a part of the Palm Springs Marathon Runners family and supporting these important causes.
