Athletes, please check your email for several updates that have been sent about the race. In short, the race is still on as scheduled for tomorrow morning. Current air quality is terrible, however, our current decision is based on forecasts from various sources we well as consulting with the township health safety official. Thunderstorms and strong winds overnight are forecasted to clear the air to Air Quality Index levels that are well within safe limits and industry standards for racing. We remain committed to athlete safety and making every effort that we can to pull of the race within safe limits and standards. We would not race with the current air quality and would cancel now if the current conditions were forecasted to remain in the morning. But, we are making this decision based on best available information and guidance from local health officials, with the desire to make every effort that we can to pull off a safe race. If the forecast changes significantly, we will update accordingly. If the forecast proves to be wrong and we have dangerous air quality conditions in the morning, we will make decisions accordingly and communicate here and through email.
