In the interest of public safety, DTSB made the decision to cancel their signature events from now until the July 3rd First Fridays. This decision was made in close collaboration with the St. Joseph County Department of Health, following their input and recommendations. DTSB plans to remain in contact with public health officials and is prepared for the possibility of canceling future events if advised to do so. Once events resume, DTSB will make sure to adhere to any new event safety guidelines that may be in place due to continued COVID-19 preventative measures.

Important information regarding changes to the Summer Fitness Series for 2020!

-
Class size will be limited to 50 participants a class, and advanced registration will be required for guaranteed participation.
-
10-foot circles will be marked on the Gridiron, 6 feet apart from each other.
-
These 50 circles will be available to registered participants, first-come, first serve.
-
Check-in for registered participants will begin 10 minutes prior to each class, and those who do not arrive at the start time of the class will forfeit their spot to walk-up participants.

Masks are encouraged, but not required.

-
Participants will sign a waiver during the online registration process to make the in-person check-in as contactless as possible.
