Please see a manager and not a volunteer.

WEATHER – All events are "rain or shine" events. Every effort will be made to have each event on the scheduled date, on time, as planned.

In the event of severe inclement weather such as lightning, the following procedure will be followed: The event will be postponed for 30-45 minutes in hopes that the inclement weather passes. If the inclement weather does not pass within this time frame, we may decide to alter the event, perhaps to a duathlon format. If conditions are deemed to be unsafe, versus challenging, we may be forced cancel the event. Every situation is different but please understand, this is a "rain or shine" event and everyone is expected to show up on race day.
