Weather Updates
The Capital City Half Marathon Inclement Weather Policy
Weather forecasts will be monitored prior to the event
paying special attention to the possibility of rain,
thunder and lightning, high winds and temperatures. If
necessary, athletes will be made aware of these
predictions on the Capital
City Half Marathon Website so that participants
can properly prepare for severe weather during the
race as well as possible course alterations. Severe
weather updates will also be sent to participants via
email as necessary.
Myself and Darrin Bright, our Medical Director will
monitor the weather and make a decision if any action
will be taken to modify the race. Possible changes
include: altering the start time for the race or in very
extreme situations, cancellation of the event. Please
listen closely to all public address announcements at
the starting line of the race.
Visible lightening will cause the race to be postponed
for a minimum of 15 minutes. Additional sightings will
continue to delay the race in 15 minute increments.
Update April 30, 2010:
WBNS 10TV weather is calling for the
potential of inclement weather during the Capital
City Half Marathon. Current predictions are calling for
a low of 57 at race start warming up to a high of 74.
There is a storm system rolling in late Saturday
morning which may thunderstorms and lightning.
In the event that lightening occurs after the race starts,
use common sense and find cover. If the race has
started we will communicate with the athletes at the
finish line, through
our aid stations and the American Red Cross.

a "status update" on your
