The Craft Brew Races will be held rain or shine – we only cancel in the event of severe weather that would put our participants in danger. There is always the potential for extreme or severe weather conditions. Race organizers will do as much as we can to ensure the experience is as safe as possible. In the event of severe weather, the event may be delayed as we consult public safety officers. If there is more than a short delay, if conditions persist, or the forecast calls for extreme weather, we reserve the right to alter or cancel the event. Entry fees are non-refundable. Please check the website, our Facebook page and your email before the race for any changes or cancellations.
