ADVERSE WEATHER

Race Directors will assess the weather and communicate safely the protocols based on the following conditions:

Heat and Humidity – The dew point is 80F or above at the start time. This information is available on the weather channel and from your local weather service. The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends canceling or modifying a road race when the WBGT is 82F.

Lightening is present. Send runners home if there is not adequate safe shelter for everyone to wait out the storm. Remember, trees are not safe shelter and lightning can strike up to 10 miles away.

Hazardous condition on course caused by ice, snow, mud, etc. Detour the race route from these areas.

Snowstorms. Many runners will want to run. Get input from local police. As mentioned above, it’s not just hazardous footing. There is significant danger from vehicles and snow removal equipment if the course is shared with traffic. Visibility and safety of volunteers should also be considered.

Extreme cold. When the combined temperature and wind chill is below 5F, there is the risk of flesh freezing and hypothermia.
