Weather Cancellation Policies
AMPT Runners’ safety is the most important thing and if any of the threatening weather conditions listed below are present the day of the event, the event may be delayed or canceled. When weather conditions or other physical conditions present a danger to participants, AMPT Running officials maintain the right to cancel the event. Less threatening conditions may cause alterations of the course or the post-race festivities to ensure participant, volunteer, and community safety. Such conditions fall under the label “Acts of God,” and will not result in refunding of any race entry fees or future event credits.

A race may be canceled or delayed if any of the following weather conditions exist: Tornado Warning, Tornado Watch, Thunderstorm, Lightning, Excessive Wind with Rain, other major weather condition—or a Zombie Apocalypse – you never know.
