What happens in the case of inclement weather?
Weather
The race will be held rain or shine. If there is lightning in the area, the race will either have a delayed start (30 minutes maximum delay time) or, depending on the intensity of the weather, be canceled. The determination will be made by the Event Management staff and local law enforcement to determine the proper action. Legally, the race cannot take place while lightning is in the area for liability reasons.
As a reminder, the registration fees are non-refundable or transferrable.
Lightning Policy
Event operations will shut down when lightning is located within 10 miles of the event area. Event operations will not resume until lightning is 10 miles out, moving away from the event area. Event management staff will determine this using the Flash to Bang Rule* and weather radar. The event management staff and local law enforcement will decide on a course of action to utilize the operational rain plan, delay the event, or cancel the event. Any action will not take place until race morning.
*Flash to Bang Rule* is applied by measuring the time (in seconds) between a visual lightning “Flash” and hearing the resulting “Bang”. This time is then divided by a factor of 5 to obtain the distance in miles. For example, 50 seconds between the “flash” and “bang” divided by “5” equals 10 miles.
Is there space for family members to watch the race?
Yes, spectators are welcome to watch the race near the finish line around the intersection of Oglethorpe and Montgomery.
Where can I find photos from the race?
I’m interested in volunteering at the event. What should I do?
