Drink up moho's!!
I have raced in heavy rain and falling snow. Typically the only time they will call a race is if there is lightening in the area and then its still a judgement call on the race director.

Don't forget sleet! That was just last month.

I've only seen cancellations for a last minute snow storm in an city ill-equipped to deal with snow clearing. The race would have been a gongshow if they'd run it.
In the words of my late-coach : Just hang in there, relax... and at the end of a race anyone you see.....just pass them
Mostly harmless
Have fun running in the rain!

Myrtle Beach? They had a 20-year storm (4") and cancelled the race at midnight. It all melted by noon. Lots of pissed off runners ran the race anyway, since all of the markers and stuff were up. We went shopping.
I agree with the billed cap. And consider your shirt carefully, if you don't want to participate in the wet T-shirt contest.

Hehe good advice.
Thanks everyone! I was so nervous they would cancel it! I will wear all tech fabric clothes, visor, a poncho and enjoy my 10K "swim"! Should make for an interesting RR if the weather is as predicted

20 years? Sounds like about 20 minutes worth of snow when it's really coming down here in Buffalo
