40% Chance of Thunderstorms Saturday

Run before the storm!

We hope we can beat the storm on Saturday. Please check here 1 hour prior to the run to be sure the run has not been cancelled by mother nature. Normally cancelled runs are rescheduled for the following Sunday, but due to the labor day holiday, this will not be the case.

This message is intended for PB runners who are interested in visiting the site Saturday morning to check the weather and the status of the run. Subscribers will receive this message a day late. For more timely updates, you can subscribe via a feedreader.
