Fall marathons are here, so experts share their tips on staying safe while putting your training to good use.
With that being said, the risks that you will encounter depends on where you are going, says Labus. Different places have different rules on mask usage and social distancing, different vaccination rates, and different rates of COVID. International travel is even more complicated, often involving testing before entering the country and before returning home—even if you are vaccinated.
You can check the vaccination status of the city you are headed to for a race using state or local government websites. You can also track the daily COVID-19 cases using this data. If you are traveling for an international race, be sure to check local guidelines for vaccination, negative test, and quarantine requirements.Right now, especially because of the Delta variant, you still have to wear good masks—such as an N-95—and be very careful about getting into situations where there’s large groups, especially in small indoor spaces, says Nieman—even if you’re vaccinated.
And, while there’s a good chance you won’t get very sick if exposed, it is possible that you could bring infection home to others post-race. So, if you have access to rapid tests, it would be a good idea to test yourself for 3 to 5 days after high-risk activities, like travel, to ensure you’re not putting others at risk, Ferrari explains.In most cases, major marathons are allowing both a negative COVID-19 test or proof of vaccination.
