After the pandemic forced cancellation of the annual Fort 91原创 Historic Half Marathon last year, the event will return this year, on Sunday, Feb. 20.

TryEvents race director Mitchell Hudson said precautions will be observed, with participants asked if they are vaccinated when they register.

People will also be asked to mask up at the start and finish lines, but can pull down the provided 鈥渢ryuff鈥� face coverings once the race is underway.

Hudson clarified that vaccine passports will not be required for the outdoor event.

鈥淲e will be following public health protocols,鈥� Hudson said.

Designed by a local graphic designer, the fabric face covering includes logos from the first four 2022 runs organized by TryEvents including the Fort 91原创 鈥渉istoric fish.鈥�

鈥淵ou can pull it down and pull it up easily,鈥� Hudson assured.

People will be asked to maintain social distancing, and there will be sanitation stations.

鈥淲e鈥檙e just super excited to be back,鈥� Hudson told the 91原创 Advance Times.

This year, the event will be accepting donations for the 91原创 Seniors Resources Society.
