Current 2020 Race Updates
Update Date: 9/1/2020
Well, it's not exactly the update we were hoping to give today, but all hope for an in-person race is not lost either. We are deep into conversations with City and County officials to figure out a way forward with this year's event. With recent spikes of COVID-19 within La Crosse County, it has been made clear that a final decision on this year's race cannot and will not be made at this time. As we have said from the beginning, we will not put our athletes and volunteers at unnecessary risk, however, we will do all that we can to host a safe in-person event keeping with the spirit of the Hixon 50 to the best of our ability.
At this point, the Hixon 50 is not cancelled, nor has it received the green light. We will be giving another update on September 15th and will be making a final decision no later than October 1st. We apologize for the delay in making a final decision, but hope that you all will understand the situation and appreciate the effort that has been put into attempting to make this race happen, at all levels.
Thank you all for your patience and we hope to still see you out for a fun, albeit different event in just two short months!
