roadways are safe for traffic, the Race Director and Classic Race Management will view the course to make a determination of safety. Modifications to Event There are two options at the disposal of the Race Director and Classic Race Management in the event of inclement weather. These include: • Change of race start time on the schedule date • Cancellation of event Change of race start time This is by far the most ideal option to the participants. Runners invest large amounts of training time, travel time and money to arrive at a race site ready to race. The option of moving the race start time later on the scheduled date minimizes the need for athletes to alter their travel plans. It keeps the race itself intact and allows those that made the trip to that particular race site the opportunity to race. The decision to delay or change the race time may be made the day before, or the morning of the race. Considerations: The major concern In this situation is on the Race Management company, Race Director and local jurisdictions (police, EMS, city, etc). Race permits are often granted based on an early race start and finish with the understanding race activities will cease by a certain time. While it may be impossible to postpone a race for many hours, a one or two hour delay will be discussed as a possibility with all parties involved with the event. Cancellation of Event This is the last resort scenario, No one wants this to happen. However, PATH, Inc, realizes it may be necessary to keep the racers safe. If this is the decision, the Race Director in collaboration with Classic Race Management has a prepared statement and communication line to get the word out to the local community (racers, volunteers, law enforcement, etc.) on the decision and reasons behind it. The decision to cancel the race will most likely not be made until the morning of the event There is a NO REFUND POLICY for this race. The policy is available at time of registration so that in this scenario the athletes are clear on what they can expect. Any alterations in the event will be posted on the event wehpage and Facebook page. All participants, volunteers, staff and Involved parties will also be notified via email as quickly as possible once a decision is made. A copy of this document is available on the event webpage.
