Anyone have a secret to successfully keeping your eyeglasses clear while running with a mask on?
(Please avoid self-identifying as an idiot by suggesting going without the mask, glasses, or running. Thanks.)

Nope.
You can try not breathing, but that doesn't help during long runs.
(Actually, using a little 'no fog' spray or a really ((wisp) thin layer of petroleum jelly helps some)
Can't say enough about contacts highly recommend
besides that I've had some luck with pulling the mask up high enough so that it covers your entire nose, then setting the glasses on the outside of the mask instead of above it. Not super comfortable, but better than foggy glasses imo
run in places without people, then you can take off the mask.
Take off the mask

This. There is no evidence that any risk of transmitting COVID exists while running outside.
I'm pro-mask all the way for indoor spaces and even outdoor spaces if you're hanging out. But why are people wearing masks on runs?
Wear a mask with the nose piece. It might be a little harder to breathe in, but it won't fog up your glasses as much.

You already self-identified as an idiot for wearing a mask while running.

Why would you wear a mask while outside and exercising?

If you wear a speedo nose clip on your nose under your mask your glasses don't fog up. It works like a charm.
For those asking why I am wearing a mask, it is a mandate in my state...even when exercising outdoors. And, no, I am not interested in moving to another state.
How bad is your vision? Can you run without glasses on a track?
Run inside? Move south? Did I win?
I think some kind of a nose piece seal is the only real answer. You are the inventor now!
Or, you could build a wearable glasses warmer/defogger. Hammacher Schlemmer style.
I find it strange that so many dont know that it gets less foggy when putting on a plaster at the top of your mask around your nose ridge. Thats what nurses do

Has anyone in your state been arrested or cited for breaking this mandate?

What happens if you don't wear one? You will probably get scolded by a couple 9min/mile joggers who think know better than anyone else - but there will be zero other consequences.
Tape a strip of neoprene to the bottom of your glasses. It will keep your breath from coming up into your eyeglasses.
I wear glasses. I bring an 8 layer sweat "rag" with me and put it up to my nose/mouth before/after coming up to people on trails. Otherwise, if running on the roads, I move to the other side of the road without the face cloth if a biker, for instance, is coming up on the same side.

That’s not really an option unfortunately. A teacher/coach is expected to set a good example. Also, I do some volunteer work in town with first responders which also would not look good, if I didn’t have my face covered.
For clarification, I typically wear a gaiter and pull it down when no one is around. But I need it often enough that it becomes annoying, though not a safety hazard.
Finally, as an elite hobby jogger, I wish I could do my jogs at 9 min/mile.
