Running With Ed is on.
After the Park City Education Foundation canceled its annual relay-race fundraiser last year due to the coronavirus pandemic, the nonprofit is bringing it back this spring with some new guidelines.
Jennifer Billow, the nonprofit’s associate director of communications and development, said the changes are aimed at ensuring the safety of participants. The event is scheduled on May 22.
“Typically there is this giant start and finish at the Basin Recreation Fieldhouse with 1,500 runners and volunteers, but we knew we couldn’t do that with the current situation,” Billow said. “So, we will set up staggered starts at each of the Park City District schools. We felt that was appropriate, because Running with Ed is about raising money for our schools, teachers and students.”
