☔ WEEK 3 CANCELED: Mother Nature, we need to talk. 😩🌧️

Well, the rain has officially won this round. Unfortunately, today's October 11 race is CANCELED due to inclement weather and poor field conditions.

Our field doesn't fare well with prolonged periods of rain, and with all the wet weather we've had this fall, we need to make some adjustments to the season.

Here's the plan moving forward:
Sunday, October 18: Race Week 3 🍎 🏃‍♀️
Sunday, October 25: Final Race & Awards Week! 🏆

Unfortunately, our Fall 2026 series will now consist of 4 race weeks instead of 5. We are so disappointed to miss another Sunday with our runners, but we're keeping our fingers crossed for some sunshine so we can finish the season strong! ☀️🤞

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigate this VERY soggy fall. Please keep an eye on your email and our social media for updates.

Stay safe, stay dry, and we'll see you next Sunday! 💚
