Inclement Weather Plan:

While we can plan many aspects of race day, weather is beyond our control. Participant safety is always our top priority.

Weather Communications
Updates will be shared through our Kawartha Lakes Parks and Recreation Facebook Page  and the PA system on race day.

Race Day Decisions
The Race Director, in consultation with emergency services, may delay, modify, or cancel the event due to unsafe conditions.

If severe weather has not cleared by 8:30 AM, the race will be cancelled.

Light rain will not cancel the event.

Lightning Policy
Visible or reported lightning will result in a minimum 30-minute delay from the last observed strike.

• Event officials may decide to shut down the course after the race has started if weather conditions deteriorate. In this occurrence, a red flag would be placed at all Water Stations located along the route, and volunteers would advise the race course has been shut down and the race would not resume. Participants would then be advised to seek shelter.

• Volunteer course marshals and route personnel will be released from their positions in the event of the race being canceled.

• All entry fees are non-refundable. Fixed costs are incurred whether the race is held to completion or not. In the event of a full cancellation, registered participants would still receive their race t-shirt, bib and finisher medal.
