** This is a rain or shine event. Race continues in the rain. If there is lightning in the area, race could delay or postpone until it is safe to resume. Florida weather is unpredictable and often changes. Race decisions are made closer to start time of each race. If any updates are made, all participants would be emailed through RunSignup and race would post details on their Facebook/Instagram. Routes are only available for RUN DAYTONA during certain times of the weekend. If inclement weather delays a start time past the allowed track time available, the race will be canceled and moved to the next available track time for a race.

Lightning Plan and Procedure: ALL guests must seek shelter or wait in their vehicles if inclement weather is within 15 miles. 

Race Cancelation Procedure: If a race needs to cancel, it would push to the next available RUN DAYTONA race time. For Example, if the Sat Evening 5K is canceled, all participants are automatically placed into the Sunday AM 5K. Participants could also choose to take their medal and become virtual finishers. There are no refunds given for any race.
