In The Case of a Human Causes Threat 
CALL 911, Then Run, Hide, or Fight
Purpose: In the case of an incident at one our events, we have prepared a simple response plan, based on recommendations created by the Department of Homeland Security and local Law Enforcement. These events often happen without warning, and can be unpredictable. We have created this plan in the event of such an incident. You can learn more at: https://www.dhs.gov/what-to-do-bomb-threat# & https://www.dhs.gov/private-citizen

The Basics
-First, if you experience any type of an emergency at one of our events please first call 911. You can also alert a race official, staff member or volunteer. They will have a direct line of communication with emergency officials. We will alert the appropriate authorities and enact the appropriate response plan (detailed below).
-Second assess the situation, and, if able, get to safety. If you feel a threat, please first get to safety. This may include, running, hiding, ducking, laying down, going off course to shelter, or getting away from the threat. If you are in the midst of a race event, please stop racing and get to safety. Your time is not more important than your safety.
-Third, report into family, friends and race officials. Once you have found a safe place, and if able, please alert family, friends, and race officials. You can email, call, text us at 563-243-2223 or joe@fitpro360.com. We request you touch base with our staff so we know you are okay and safe.
-Someone will contact you about collecting your belongings. If you have to leave in the case of an emergency, we will find a way to get you all of your belongings. We will secure them until you or someone you know is able to retrieve them. We will work with local law enforcement and authorities to secure your things.


Run, Hide, Fight: The Department of Homeland Security has developed the run, hide, fight protocol. In the case of an emergency, there might not be time to enact an emergency plan. Chaos may ensue, and things move very quickly. With that in mind, Department of Homeland Security recommends you take any the following actions. Run. Hide. Fight. There is no right way to respond, and each situation is different. So, they recommend doing any or all of the following:
-Run: Get away from the threat as soon as you can.
-Hide: Get out of the line of sight or the vicinity of the threat. This may mean ducking, finding shelter, barricading yourself in, or using natural obstacles to hide from the threat.
-Fight: Should the threat be imminent, or should you feel called to engage the threat, you can fight. This can take many forms, but it has the goal of stopping the threat and saving additional lives.


Our Emergency Protocol: In the case of an emergency, threat and/or an uncertain situation that could potentially endanger lives, we will call 911 and alert the appropriate authorities. In conjunction with local authorities, we will assess the threat and take appropriate action.
-In the face of a threat, we may need to stop the race. We will consult local law enforcement in this decision. In this case, a race official, staff member or law enforcement officer will inform you that the race is stopped. They may hold you on course and not allow you to proceed until the threat has been eliminated. This is for your safety. If the race is stopped or cancelled, we will give you further directions on how to return to the start finish line or parking area to retrieve your things. We will additionally stop all timing, and results will reflect this. We will make a note in the results to reflect this situation. We will only post times for people who completed the entire race before the race was stopped. We will not be able to provide refunds under these circumstances; we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
-In the face of a threat, we may need to delay the race. We will consult local law enforcement in this decision. In this case, a race official, staff member or law enforcement officer will inform you that the race is delayed. They may hold you on course and not allow you to proceed until the threat has been eliminated. This is for your safety. Should the race be delayed, we may allow you to continue racing once the threat has been eliminated. This is optional. If the race is delayed, we will not be able to adjust your finishing time. Should you want your finishing time, we will make a note in the results to reflect the delay. We will not be able to provide refunds under these circumstances; we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
​-We may need to cancel the race. We will consult local law enforcement in this decision. In this case, a race official, staff member or law enforcement officer will inform you that the race is cancelled. This is for your safety.
