Safety Reminder and Update on Status of Group Activities:  May 29, 2020

As we reach the end of May, we are encouraged that Northern Virginia is now in Phase 1 of COVID reopening.  We are no longer required to wear face masks while exercising outdoors, although it is still encouraged.  We are still prohibited from gathering in groups larger than 10 people, therefore our group activities remain on hold.  We will continue to monitor state, county, and Reston Association guidelines to see when we might be able to resume our group activities.  Until then, we encourage everyone to stay fit and to keep running and walking, which is easy to do by yourself.  If however you choose to run near another person for safety or other reasons, practice the recommended 6-foot social distancing.  And in this current situation, in consideration of those who share the paths and trails of Reston with you, please don’t spit on the paths.

To encourage safe exercise, we have temporarily turned off the Event Calendar, Please visit our Course Library for a full listing of Run & Walking courses

As noted above, Governor Northam’s latest Executive Order has relaxed some restrictions in Northern Virginia.  It continues to permit you to get out and exercise, provided you comply with the social distancing requirements.  It does not yet provide a basis for the Club to resume group activities. 

Fairfax County has currently banned group but not individual use of trails and in the county.  As many of you know, the paths of Reston are under the jurisdiction of the Reston Association, not Fairfax County.  

Even as restrictions may be relaxed going forward, please use common sense and consideration of others in practicing social distancing and wearing masks in public places where distancing is not practical. 

Recap of Club Impact:

• All weekday and weekend runs & walks, and meetups, have been suspended until further notice.  When they resume, we will likely require runners to bring their own hydration, at least until further notice is provided.

• We continue to monitor health rules to assess whether, when and how we can conduct our Interval Training and 10 Week to 10K programs this summer.

• Youth in Motion (YIM) is cancelled for 2020.

• The Women's Training Program and Seize the Day Women’s 5K are cancelled for 2020.

• The Runners Marathon of Reston has been cancelled. Please see the event website for more information. Questions should be sent directly to the RMR at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
