Post from Way Too Cool Run:
Friends, it is with a very heavy heart that we have to cancel this years Way Too Cool. Please know this is not a decision we came to lightly.
The creeks are running too fast, too cold, and too deep to risk people’s safety in crossing them. The winds will gust up to 60 mph, which guarantees trees will come down—it’s not a possibility, it’s a certainty. A man in San Jose died after being struck by a falling tree in the big storm on February 4. It happens. We can be a rough and tumble lot, but there’s a level of risk that passes from YOLO into reckless irresponsibility, and the conditions on Saturday promise to pass that threshold. We tried moving the race to Sunday, but the conditions will continue to be unambiguously dangerous.
Registered runners, please check your email for more details
With love,
