This Event Alert System is a standardized protocol used at events to ensure participants have a great experience and are prepared for race conditions. Race status signs will be placed near the Start and Finish Lines, plus shared on the event website and social media. This simple, standardized status is updated by race organizers in consultation with meteorologists and other officials.
Runners, volunteers, and supporters are encouraged to watch for event updates and plan accordingly.
