Weather, Heat & Thunderstorms:
It’s Summer, it can be hot. For races over 5KM we will have a water stop around the half way point. For races 5KM and shorter there will be no water stop. Be sure to carry water if you feel you will need it. We expect that you will use personal judgement in deciding if it is too hot for you to run. The race will be held rain or shine – however, severe weather is a different story. If there is lightning or severe weather we will delay the start of the race. If severe weather persists we will call off the event.
