Susan,
There has been snow in the past. As the race director, it can be a great concern. We will race baring a blizzard. The distances may have to be changed or the course modified in the eventuality of inclement weather. The only thing I tell people is prepare for the worst & hope for the best! If you are dressed properly, weather should not be the issue, its your time (just as in any race) that becomes your biggest worry. I hope you decide to join us!

What’s the weather been like in past years? Really want to do this race– but am a little intimidated about the potential for difficult weather.
