  • Day-Before Decision: If reliable forecast sources predict inclement weather overnight or during the morning of the race, the Committee may make a decision to postpone the event the day before race day.
  • Race-Day Decision: If weather develops unexpectedly, a decision to delay or cancel the race will be made on-site by at least two committee members.
  • Monitoring: Weather will be monitored by the on-site Athletic Trainer.
  • Notification: Any race-day changes will be communicated to attendees via the PA system.

• Safety Protocols:
  • Lightning Policy: The race will strictly adhere to the CFBISD Lightning Policy.
  • Emergency Shelter: Should inclement weather necessitate moving people temporarily.

• Rain Date & Refund Policy:
  • Alternate Date: In the event of a cancellation, the race will be moved to a designated Rain Out Date.
  • Registration Transfer: All registrations will automatically transfer to the new date.
