Keystone Community Center Weather/Safety Policy: Living in the Roanoke Valley can present some interesting weather issues. Participant, sponsor and staff safety is our main concern during our event. Any unsafe weather/event/action that affects anyone during our event will precipitate action that reduces the risk for all involved. Several options will be available to take the correct action considering weather and safety related issues.
Some options are: Cancellation of the race, delay in the start of the race, cancellation/delay of the awards and after race activities. The director of the race in consultation with emergency services personnel will make the determination if one of these options should be taken. Due to the race route being an out and back, a race official on a bicycle will be the mode of notification for any official decision during the race. Race officials at the start/finish area will make announcements at that location.
Race Contact Info: If you have any questions about this race, please contact the race director at [email protected].
