The 2020 Gwynn’s Island Race was held ON June 27 – under a new, social distance racing format. Outdoor exercise is encouraged — providing that we all adhere to the group size limitations and social distancing. Earlier in the year, we tested out a new format to conform to the safety recommendations – and it was a success.
