Memorandum
The attached resolution requests a change of date for the Dexter-Ann Arbor Run to Monday, September 7, 2020 from 6:00 AM until 2:00 PM. In an abundance of caution and mindful of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the organizers are requesting a change from the original date of May 31, 2020. That date was approved by Council on January 21, 2020 at R-20-003. All other aspects of the race will remain the same. The organizers, the Ann Arbor Track Club, will likely not hold the event until 2021 if the date is not approved or has to be cancelled later.
