Cold Weather Running
Remember, RRKC does not hold group runs if the effective temperature is below 0 degrees, course conditions are icy or visibility is poor due to excessive snowfall. If weather is inclement, stay tuned to the website. If we have to cancel a run, we usually try to post an hour prior to the start of a run when possible.
