When weather conditions or other physical conditions present a danger to participants, Vermont sun maintains the right to cancel the event. Less threatening conditions may cause alterations of the course or the post-awards ceremony 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.
