• 5/8/21: Quicksilver 100K/50K

Date: 7/25/20

After much consideration and deliberation, it is with a heavy heart that we have decided to cancel the 2020 edition of the Quicksilver Endurance Runs. We considered several strategies for holding a safe event on Oct 3rd, including reducing the field, staggering starts, limiting crews, and more. We know how many of you are missing racing. We took our responsibility to produce an event for our community very seriously. But in the end, we realized that, no matter what we did, we could not guarantee the race would happen in a safe environment for the runners and the volunteers. Despite all the extra work, some at the cost of the overall experience, there is no way to be sure that we could secure and keep our permits come October 3rd. And even then, the event would not likely live up to what you have come to expect from us. On July 22nd California surpassed New York for the highest number of aggregate COVID-19 cases in the country and we reached a record number of new daily cases, with close to 13,000 Californians testing positive. San Jose is among 12 cities in the country that is experiencing a worrisome COVID-19 uptick. Given these trends it is very unlikely that we will get our 3 permits any time soon if at all. Let’s hope that the situation will be better next year!

We are offering all the registered runners a 100% credit for the race in 2021 (mark your calendar for May 8th 2021) or 2022: you don’t have to do anything right now and you will automatically receive your 100% credit when you sign up in 2021 or 2022. You will receive an email on Nov 1st 2020 when we open the race to the 2021 registered runners and you’ll see your 100% credit in Ultrasignup when you register. You will have until Nov 8th to register and get in for sure. If we are below capacity (some of you may elect to run in 2022), we will open general registration on Nov 9th and have a waitlist. If you prefer to run in 2022, wait until you receive an email on Nov 1st 2021 to register and you’ll see your 100% credit.

Stay safe and we hope to see you in 2021,

Pierre Couteau and Loren Lewis
