The Lucky 7K 2021

Short review

Hey Lads and Lasses! Buckle up those loafers and join us for the 1st Annual Lucky 7K & Little Leprechaun 1K Dash.  That’s only 4.3 miles…even a leprechaun can do it! By participating in our race you’re not only searching for that pot o’ gold but you’re helping fill backpacks full of food for our After School Program kids.  Now, that is something to “cheers” to! First 40 7K registrants receive a winter race hat!  Prizes given for top overall male/female finisher and top male/female finishers in each age category.  A second wave may be added if this time fills up. No race day registrations.    We hope you'll come Shamrock this run with us! Slainte!  
**Please note that due to COVID-19 a normal race schedule is altered. Waves are limited to 40 people so we can properly social distance all participants and volunteers so there will not be any group larger than the Maine CDC guidelines of 100 people outdoors at any one time. We ask everyone to keep a safe distance form other participants at the start line. We ask that no spectators attend this year's event in order to keep numbers low. Protective Face Coverings: We ask runners to wear a mask, face covering or buff at the start of the race, during the race, and at the race site after finishing. All other attendees (event staff, volunteers) are required to wear a mask during the event. Pre-Race Communication: A pre-race email will be sent out to all registrants prior to race day reviewing bib pickup timing, the event morning itinerary, etc. We will incorporate all the additional safety protocols in this email that will be required to have the event on race morning. In addition, we recommend that anyone in an at-risk category not participate in the actual event. We will ask the proper safety questions and administer a temperature check at bib pickup and also request anyone answering yes to any of these questions stay home: • Have you been exposed to anyone that has or had COVID-19 in the past two weeks?
• Are you experiencing any Symptoms of COVID-19 including dry cough, fever or trouble
breathing?  Water Stations: We encourage runners to bring their own fluids to hydrate prior to, during and after the
event. We will only hand out bottled water at one water station on the course and at the race site
finish line and volunteers will wear gloves.  Finish Line Flow:  We will have volunteers/staff at the finish line to help facilitate moving quickly through the finish line area into the large parking areas and ask that you do not linger around after the race.  Awards / Results: Results will be posted through Run Sign Up after the race and we top finishers will be announced through AYCC Facebook Live.  Award winners can pick up their awards at the AYCC.
