Rene: pacesportsfitness@shaw.ca Hannah: hannahpacetrailruns@gmail.com We recently sent out an email to all Wild Horse Traverse & Broken Goat racers announcing our decision to cancel these events for the 2020 season in an effort to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and support bending the curve.
We invested hours into our decision making process over the past three weeks and there are many moving parts and factors to our decision. One of our major considerations was that both of these races take place in very small communities and we have a rather large ratio of racers coming from out of province. Broken Goat, for example, would have over 1,000 people with racers, racers friends/family, volunteers, our partners and our team, that would enter the small community of Rossland and approx. 150 of these racers would be coming from out of province. We understand there are a lot of mixed feelings, however we are truly doing what we feel is best to prioritize the health and safety everyone involved. If you didn’t receive an email, please check your spam folder and email us with any questions you have. We will not be answering questions on our social media feeds. Thanks for your cooperation. We know many hearts are breaking right now and ours are too. Just because we can’t hug it out in person right now, doesn’t mean we can’t send out our love. We want to thank everyone who has responded with kindness, words of support and compassion. Hello Wildhorse family,
On behalf of the entire PACE team, we want to thank you for all the unwavering support and patience as we all move through this uncertain time. We are continuing to closely monitor the current COVID-19 pandemic as we are at a very critical time in British Columbia, in terms of the direction the curve will take. Unfortunately, we can now confirm that the Wildhorse Traverse will not take place as scheduled on May 30, 2020. The information we receive over the next week, however, will help us determine whether we postpone or have to cancel the event. For anyone who has made specific travel plans for the May 30, 2020, event we hope this update allows you time to make the necessary adjustments (if you haven’t already) with minimum consequences. Today is simply about reaching out and communicating where we are currently at in this process. By the end of next week, we will send an email to all the racers with more information regarding the direction of Wildhorse but in the meantime, please refrain from sending any emails until we forward further information. We know you all want more answers, however, please understand that there are a lot of moving parts and we are working hard to pull everything together. There is no higher priority for us than the health and safety of everyone involved and that community is at the very heart of the PACE Trail Series. We want to take this opportunity to let you know that we understand everyone is processing and coping with the current pandemic differently. We also understand that people have different levels of support, stress and responsibilities during this time and that not two people are feeling the same way. For today, please accept a big virtual air hug and allow us to pass along our optimism. We believe in the strength of the Wildhorse community and that we will get through this together and be stronger in the end. Rene Unser www.pacetrailseries.com www.pacesportsfitness.com Thank you for all your patience and support. We hope everyone is staying safe, healthy and trying to maintain connections to their running goals. We have been working hard with land owner, our partners, our staff and the community to finalize a new Nimble Bear race date which is now October 17, 2020.
An email has been sent out today, to all registered racers of the 2020 Nimble Bear outlining the different registration options. We really appreciate the outpour of support from the Nimble Bear family, so far and we continue to wish everyone extra perseverance and kindness to make your way through this unsettling time. There will continue to be solutions to the challenges we face over the coming weeks/months, so let's use this time to support one another and also hit the trails, if only momentarily to clear the mind. On behalf of the PACE team, we wish you much health, love and positivity! We are here to help move through this together and look forward to seeing you on October 17th. Air hugs! |
