The race will take place rain or shine. However, in the event of inclement weather (tornadoes, hail, thunder and lightning,) we reserve the right to cancel. If lightning is within 6 miles of the race start line, race officials will make the decision to delay the start until the lightning clears.

We will make announcements of any changes through social media and over the race PA system. Participants and spectators should follow LifeGift on social media to be made aware of weather updates. There are no race registration refunds if the race is cancelled. Due to the nature of the event the race cannot be moved to another date.
