Past this time, the even course may be shortened or altered to protect the participants. If conditions turn unsafe, the event may be cancelled. Event changes and cancellations are at the discretion of the Race Director. We always strive to produce a full and safe sporting event, but sometimes the weather conditions can affect those plans. Considerable amount goes into planning a sporting event and we do so with the best intentions. Unfortunately, no one can control the weather and race directors are not the exceptions.
