The Weather
At temperatures of -20C (without the wind-chill), the events may be run at the Race Committee’s discretion, under a modified format (such as a shortened course or a modified start time). The Race Committee will consider the temperature trends, wind chill factors, and track conditions expected during the event before making their decision. At temperatures below -25C, the events will be cancelled, or may be run WITHOUT volunteer support. At any air temperature, difficult weather conditions such as strong winds, high humidity, heavy snow, or icy tracks may result in a modified, postponed or cancelled event. A decision may be made before or on race day; event updates will be posted online and via email.
