What happens if the weathers bad on race day?
If it’s raining: The race will take place as scheduled unless there’s significant flooding going on (see below). If it’s snowing or sleeting: The race will most likely be cancelled. If the weather’s okay but there’s snow on the ground: We may have to cancel, since there’s no paved parking area at Watermelon Park. If there’s flooding along the Shenandoah River: Minor flooding would cause a re-routing of the 10 mile course, but if the water line reaches Lockes Mill Road itself, there’s no way we could hold the race. While we’re not necessarily expecting any weather problems, please check this Web site’s main page for updates if it looks like the race day weather might be questionable. At the moment we don’t have an alternate race date, so if the race cannot be held on Saturday 22 March, we doubt we’d be able to reschedule it. Too many other spring races taking place on later weekends.
