Running Rain Policy

Our rain policy is the following…we never (seldom) cancel practice. We run in light rain and we run inside if we hear any thunder. If the rain is pouring, we run inside at Faith West, in either the Gym or Annex Building. Worst case…we would lift weights in the Annex Building across the street at Faith West.

If cancellation occurs, we will endeavor to notify the parents by 1pm the day of cancellation via Remind App (and possibly email).

JH – Normally would have track during the last period and picked up during “Car Pool”, at 3:30 pm.

HS – Normally will have track practice and could finish by 4:45 pm.
