COVID-19 SOCIAL DISTANCING GUIDELINES – MUST READThe WWA is implementing social distancing guidelines effective immediately at all WWA sanctioned events in an effort to minimize the spread of COVID-19 in our communities. Events are only possible if we all maintain the federal, CDC, state and local guidelines. We appreciate everyone doing their part so events are able to operate and do not get shut down.
Attention: In accordance with the guidelines set forth, we will be taking temperatures for all event participants upon arrival before a rider is able to check-in each day. If anyone has a temperature reading greater than 100.4* F they will not be able to remain on the event site. We encourage all participants to take their temperature before arriving at the event.
