🌧Race Update🌧
We're racing! The Tom Walker PREVIEW is still happening Saturday morning. We're monitoring the weather closely and it's looking good right now. But, as we know, Mother Nature can change her mind quickly. If anything changes, we'll make a decision and let you know asap. We're setting the course limit at 2 hours out of precaution and the safety of all the runners, volunteers and the official timer.
