Our sincere thanks to everyone who helped make the best of a difficult situation today in Westerly. Our friends at Grey Sail Brewing of Rhode Island opened their doors to help us welcome many of you, get your Surftown Pils (& bunches of bananas!), shirts and medals for virtual finishes - we are so grateful for their partnership and kindness.
We will have local pick-up options in CT this week and be providing details and next steps for deferrals by email tomorrow (Monday) as previously communicated. Thanks for your patience as we work out those details to make it as smooth as possible.
This was a tough one and we know it was disappointing not to go on today. We hold races rain or shine, we know that runners don't mind getting wet and as an organization, we've had our fair share of soakers that took many days to dry out from.
This wasn't about rain. Lightning and flooding are dangerous - period. Bringing 2,000+ people into a community where lightning and flooding pose a threat to their safety is not a risk we're willing to take. Thank you for your patience and understanding and know that we look forward to being back in this community with you next year.
