COVID-19 update for Tuna and Colonial Relays

We hope everybody is doing well through this COVID-19 situation. We have our two planned Fall Relays coming up in September (Colonial) and October (Tuna) and we are taking in all of the data we can to help us with decisions and the planning for these. Things have definitely taken a turn for the worse over the past month or so. We wanted to give an update on where things are with the Tuna and Colonial Relay at this point.

Teams that have registered have the opportunity for a full refund by August 1st. We will be sending an e-mail out to team captains before the end of the month to give an update on our plans. If we choose to go forward with both or one of the races, your team will have the opportunity at that point to choose to run or not. If you choose to not run, we will send you a full refund of your registration fee. If you choose to run, and we are forced to cancel prior to the race we will not be able to give you a full refund. We will be able to give you a partial refund (percentage will depend on how close to the race it is) or you will be able to transfer to a future race.

If we decide to cancel one or both races by August 1st, we will give each team a full refund of of their registration fee. Teams will also be able to transfer to a future race if that is the preference.

As a race, we are dependent on numerous counties, school systems, park systems, exchange zones, volunteers, and much more to put on the race. We will continue working with each of these over the next couple weeks to see where they all stand as we make a decision.

If you know your team will not participate due to COVID-19 regardless of what we decide, you can e-mail us at info@malakseries.com and we will get your refund processed.

We are also working on COVID-19 guidelines for the races and will have those available in August.

If you have any questions or comments for us, e-mail us at info@malakseries.com.
