Weekend Events / Loppets
- At temperatures of -25C to -30C (without the wind-chill), the event may be run at the Race Committee's discretion, under a modified
format such as shortening of the course or a modified start time). The Race Committee will consider the temperature trends, wind
chill factors, and track conditions expected during the event before making their decision.
- At -30C or colder, the event must be postponed or cancelled.
- At any air temperature, any difficult weather conditions such as strong winds, high air humidity, heavy snow, or icy track
conditions will result in the Race Committee consulting with the leaders of the participating
teams to postpone, cancel or shorten the competition.
- A decision to cancel may be made prior to race day based on the forecast or snow conditions, or it may be made on race day based on
current weather conditions and the forecast. Event updates and/or the final decision will be posted in red on our
website homepage and recorded on the CCSAM office
phone line ASAP.
Wednesday Night Races
- At temperatures of -20C to -25C (without the wind-chill), it is at the
discretion of the Race Committee to decide on the status of the Wednesday Night
Race, taking the wind-chill and forecasts into consideration.
- At temperatures of -25C or less (without the wind-chill), the Wednesday Night Race cannot be held.
- New for 2008-2009: The race organizers may choose to defer the race to
Thursday if the weather is too cold to hold it on the Wednesday.
The decision will be made prior to 4:00 PM on Wednesday.
It will be posted in red on our website homepage and conveyed to the staff at the
Windsor Park Nordic Centre.
