This post is for all 4th and 5th grade Running Club members who signed up for the Kid’s Martian Marathon. The Kid’s Martian Marathon has been postponed due to the corona virus situation. The letter below is from the leaders of the race. Please know that when I hear something, I will let you know. If you put an e-mail address on your race form, you have already received this letter.
“Thank you for your patience, Martians, as we continue work our way through a totally unprecedented situation for our business, and the entire world. We know that everybody is searching for answers, and we promise to keep you as up to date on what is going on as we possibly can. The virus at hand has been making day to day decision making difficult as things change hour by hour. We know what a frustrating time this has been for everybody and we are not ignoring you!
As you may have heard, the CDC has officially recommended that all gatherings of 50 people or more for the next 8 weeks be canceled or postponed. While this is not the news we were hoping for, we have to consider the vulnerable population and encourage adherence to social distancing. We’re committed to assisting the country in reducing introduction of the virus into new communities and slow the spread of infection.
As of today, the 2020 Martian Invasion of Races is officially postponed. We will still be holding the 2020 Martian Invasion of Races. Please bear with us as we work with the City of Dearborn and all appropriate parties involved to select our new race date. It will be in summer of 2020 and we will let everybody know through all available channels as soon as we know the date! You will know the date within minutes of us knowing, no new information is being withheld!”
