the event. Please note that every time lightning strikes and thunder is heard within 6 miles of the race site, we must delay the start by **30 minutes**.
Tornado Warning: If at any time before (race morning close to start time) or during the event, a tornado warning is issued, the race will be canceled.
On Course Cancellation: If the race is canceled due to storms (lightning and/or excessive rain) or tornado warnings while it is in progress, we will do everything in our power to alert everyone on the course. All police, SAG, and medical personnel will be made aware and do all they can to warn and SAG in all participants. We will also do everything in our power to assist those that are still on course. Those on course without means of rescue should seek immediate shelter via open stores, buildings, garages, homes, and/or any other means of protection from the dangerous conditions. We will still try to SAG you to the finish or as close as possible if at all possible.
Due to the nature of this event, once we have the approval to run the race, it’s extremely difficult to cancel or postpone it. Keep in mind that this is a charity event, so **no refunds will be issued**. Once you’re out on the course, be careful! There are some sections of this course that are remote, and it could take time for you to reach the nearest hydration station. Listen to your body! Seek medical attention at any of the aid stations if you’re not feeling well. Volunteers, course marshals, police, or SAG personnel may also remove athletes from the course if they are not deemed fit to continue.
Rain: The event will NOT be canceled due to rain alone unless the downpour is such that athletes, police, and volunteers lose visibility, making situations unsafe. If this occurs, we will wait until the rain subsides and follow the same procedure listed for lightning conditions (minus the 30-minute rule). Athletes will be informed of such a change via announcements on race morning.
Heat: In case of a heat advisory, we will make sure the hydration stations have plenty of ice and cold drinks. We will also provide iced towels at one of the hydration stations.
This is a trail race, and while the course will be clearly marked with signs and cones, all participants are responsible for staying alert and following the designated route at all times.
