Hello Birds,
First off, apologies for the switcheroo on the run last week due to the AQI. I know some of you were all ready to go with my first post, then were frustrated and upset at the second post cancelling the run only a few minutes later. Going forward, I'll try to get the most current AQI data before I make my decision. This might mean, if it's close, that the final cancellation decision might happen closer to 5:15/5:30. Again, I apologize for the uncertainty with the current smoke situation, but ultimately if the AQI is above 150 run club will be cancelled. We don't want people to feel pressured to come run in hazardous conditions. Other local activities are being cancelled at this AQI, and so that's what we are using to make our decision. That being said, if you feel comfortable running above this, you are welcome to come anyways and/or just come hang out. We are still intending to still be there to say "hi" and hang out, even if we do not have an official run.
If you are interested in tracking the AQI, I've found that https://map.purpleair.com/ seems to have the most visible sensors, with the current reading (plus 10min averages) and a nice graph to see previous data.
Thank you all and hopefully we'll see you tomorrow.
Stay safe,
Alison & Theo
