Shenandoah Chamber and Industry Association issued the following announcement on July 8.
The 2020 Race is on! Wabash Trace Nature Trail Marathon, Half Marathon & Marathon Relay will run September 12th as scheduled with safety precautions and limited bus transportation to the start. Race officials encourage entrants to have an alternate plan to get to the start of the race or back to the start after the race. The marathon and marathon relay start in Malvern and run to Shenandoah via the trail. The half marathon starts in Imogene and runs to Shenandoah on the trail.
We will social distance throughout the event. Please arrive early for packet pickup especially day of the race. Packet pickup on the day before the race and day of the race will start earlier. Masks will be required at packet pickup and on the buses. Hand sanitizer will be provided at key points. Race starts will be social distanced with faster runners starting first. The race is chip timed so each runner’s time begins when they cross the start line.
Bottled beverages will be provided at water stations. Water refill coolers will be available if runners want to self fill their own containers including camelbacks. Everyone will still be able to enjoy running on the beautiful Wabash Trace Nature Trail. The course is USATF certified a Boston qualifier.
There will be no after party or awards ceremony. Medallions, a packaged snack and beverage will be provided for self pickup by runners at the finish. All placing awards will be mailed to the winners if not picked up at the end of the race.
Early registration deadline has been extended to July 24th for runners to save money on entry fees. Register at 
www.GetMeRegistered.com or print the entry form and mail at www.shenandoahiowa.net. Last day to register is September 10th.
If the COVID-19 infection rates should worsen in our area or the number of entries is too low we may still have to cancel the race later, but entry fees paid would be counted for the 2021 race.
