We'll run Rain or Shine but we won't run if there's lightning. There is a lightning detector on top of the bathrooms at the Start/Finish line, so we'll base our decision on that. If there is lightning, events may start late (up to 1 hour) or be cancelled.

We will make the decision by 6:45 PM.

If we have to cancel (for whatever reason), all non-series runners will be moved to a different Hot As Fire series event (your choice) and the 11th race will count for Series points.

Per WRATH Racing policies, we will not issue refunds or race credit.
