🌧️Weather/Safety Policy
Safety Concerns: Living in the Roanoke Valley can present some interesting weather issues. Participant, sponsor, and staff safety is our main concern during our event.
Potential Actions: Cancellation of the race, delay in the start of the race, cancellation/delay of the awards and after-race activities.
Decision Authority: The director of the race in consultation with emergency services personnel will make the determination if one of these options should be taken.
Notification: Due to the race route being an out and back, a race official on a bicycle will be the mode of notification for any official decision during the race. Race officials at the start/finish area will make announcements at that location.
⚠️Participant Safety
Personal Decisions: None of this should keep any participant from making clear personal choices to keep themselves safe.
Reporting Unsafe Conditions: Any unsafe conditions should be communicated to race officials as soon as possible.
