Our COVID-19 Plan

Update December 28, 2021

High Five Events, the producer of the Ascension Seton Marathon, has been part of COVID-19 related task forces on the City, County, State, and National levels, reviewed and consulted on other event plans, and has been working to develop COVID-19 protocols for endurance events that best reflect the information currently available.

During our latest meeting with the City of Austin and Austin Public Health, a plan was made that allows for the Austin Marathon, Half Marathon & 5K to take place as scheduled on February 20, 2022.

Starting in Stage 3, Austin Public Health is requiring proof of vaccination or negative test within 72 hours of event start (Friday, February 18). Required for all Participants, Volunteers, Staff, and Vendors.

Below is our full COVID-19 Mitigation Plan as approved by Austin Public Health based on Austin’s current COVID-19 Stage.
