Our weather policy is as follows: If at least half of the event (half of the total laps) are completed, the event is considered official. Rain checks will not be issued, and the event will not be made up.

We do not issue monetary refunds in the event of a cancelation. For competitors specifically, if half of the laps of their individual race has been completed, the race is official. If less-than-half of the laps of their individual race has been completed, the race is not completed, and we will issue rain checks accordingly.
