(MARK RABAGO)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>With the recent spike in COVID-19 community transmission, Run Saipan has erred on the side of caution and postponed last Saturday\u2019s Run Saipan Dash &amp; Splash to Nov. 13.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSafety is always the No. 1 priority for us. We are supporting the governor for his mandatory 10-day order of school closure. We have a lot of students that signed up for the race and it would not be fair to deny them entry. We just want the community to be safe. I would like to thank the participants for understanding our decision and their patience to hold off until Nov. 13,\u201d said Run Saipan president Edward Dela Cruz Jr.<\/p>\n<p>To replace last Saturday\u2019s Run Saipan Dash &amp; Splash, the non-profit running organization is offering instead a virtual 5K this weekend.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe good news is the event is now turned into a virtual race weekend for October\u2019s underground series so we will be eager to see who takes advantage of it. We still have a 5K race to fill in for October and are pleased to announce it\u2019s become a virtual 5K weekend for runners!\u201d said Dela Cruz.<\/p>\n<p>The October underground virtual 5K was from Friday, Oct. 28, to today, Nov. 1. Dela Cruz said the timeline is based off of CHST time zone. Participating runners must use the GPS in their watches or smart phones to track their run. After running the 5K, runners must then submit a screen shot of their run results, name, and age to runsaipan@gmail.com.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can also submit a picture of yourself (especially those of you\u2019re not on island). This race is open to everyone worldwide,\u201d added Dela Cruz.<\/p>\n<p>Run Saipan\u2019s 5K Dash &amp; Splash was supposed to be held last Saturday at the East Bay of Lao Lao Bay and it had a water element where runners can opt to take a dip in the water, hence the splash in the run\u2019s name.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on Run Saipan\u2019s 5K Dash &amp; Splash, contact Run Saipan at (670) 287-0891 or email runsaipan@gmail.com.
