I did two fat bike races this winter. There were two start corrals, with two columns of five racers in each corral. The columns were more than six feet apart and you were at least six feet from the racer in front of you and behind you, and everyone wore masks in the start corral. Chip timing, and one racer would start every 15 seconds. When one corral was done, the other started, and new racers lined up in the first corral. The only time I was close to any other racer was passing or being passed, and we were on cross country ski trails that were plenty wide enough for passing. We did not wear masks while racing, but I still felt less vulnerable at any point during the races than I did during pretty much every trip to the grocery store.
