Misericordia joins others in dropping in-person and going to remote learning

The local running calendar has taken a hit due to the Coronavirus.
				Both The Renal Race, scheduled for Sunday in Wilkes-Barre, and the Wyoming Valley Striders&rsquo; season-opening Winter&rsquo;s End 4.5 Mile Run, scheduled for March 22 at Penn State Wilkes-Barre, were postponed on Wednesday.
				Both announcements came on the events&rsquo; Facebook pages.
				&ldquo;Nothing is more important to us than the Safety and health of our racers,&rdquo; the post on The Renal Race&rsquo;s page read. &ldquo;So as much as it saddens us, The Renal Race 9 will be postponed due to the growing concern of the COVID-19 virus.&rdquo;
				The post goes on to say that the race will take place on the same day when the city of Wilkes-Barre reschedules its St. Patrick&rsquo;s Day parade for.
				Once the new date for the race is announced, runners who have already registered will have the option of requesting a refund of their fee or donating it the fund.
				The Wyoming Valley Striders announcement said the Winter&rsquo;s End Run was postponed &ldquo;until further notice&rdquo; due to the closing of the Penn State Wilkes-Barre campus.
				At least one local race is set to go on as scheduled &#8230; for now.
				The Scranton Half Marathon, which is scheduled for March 29 and typically draws nearly 3,000 competitors, announced on its Facebook page that the &ldquo;race is still planned as scheduled.&rdquo;
				The post did say, however, that the planning team would continue to monitor the situation and will &ldquo;follow the guidance of the CDC, state and local health officials in the days and weeks ahead.&rdquo;
