While there are still many unknowns about coronavirus spread, experts consider risk to be lower in outdoor settings where safe social-distancing practices are in place.

Before meeting up with others for a run, assess key risk factors such as the level of community spread in your area, if you’ve been exposed to coronavirus and could be at risk for asymptomatically spreading it, and what your training partners have been doing to stay safe.

Running with a training partner or small group of two to three that you trust is likely safe, depending on the area you live in and the precautions you all take.

Overall, you should still do everything you can to mitigate the spread of coronavirus, including physical distancing and frequent hand washing as cases continue to rise and there is still no vaccine.
