Weather Cancellation Policy

Fleet Feet Madison & Sun Prairie Weather Policy 

 
Your safety is our top priority. We carefully consider current and forecasted conditions when deciding whether to cancel or modify a fun run, store event, or training program workout. 

Activities may be canceled or modified if any of the following conditions are occurring or are expected to occur before or during the activity: 

Winter: 

• Dangerous weather or travel conditions, including blizzards, black ice, ice storms, hail or extremely poor visibility  

• An actual air temperature below 0°F  

• A wind chill of -15°F or below 

• Winter weather watches, warnings or advisories that may create unsafe conditions for participants traveling to, participating in, or returning home from the activity 

 Summer and Severe Weather: 

• Heat index (temperature + humidity) of 95°F or above 

• Thunderstorms with lightning present 

• Tornado watches or warnings 

• Severe thunderstorm watches or warnings 

• Dangerously high winds 

• Other hazardous conditions, including hail or extremely poor visibility 

• An Air Quality Index (AQI) reaches the “Very Unhealthy” category (200 or above) 

 These thresholds serve as general safety guidelines. Decisions are made based on the totality of the circumstances, including the timing and duration of the conditions, travel safety, workout location and route, participant experience levels, and available shelter. Weather watches, warnings and advisories may also influence the decision, even if a specific threshold has not been reached. 

 We typically use the National Weather Service and AirNow when evaluating weather and air-quality conditions. 

 Participant Safety and Workout Modifications 

Ultimately, each participant is responsible for deciding whether they feel safe and comfortable participating. Weather affects everyone differently, so please use your best judgment based on your health considerations, experience, and comfort level. 

 Fleet Feet may shorten, delay, relocate, or otherwise modify a workout based on the conditions. We generally do not cancel solely because of rain or snow, provided conditions remain safe—you never know what the weather will bring on race day! 

Fleet Feet reserves the right to cancel or modify an activity at any time, including during a session if conditions suddenly become hazardous. 

Cancellation Communication 

We aim to send cancellation notifications approximately 45–60 minutes before the scheduled start time. However, changing conditions may require a last-minute decision. Please check for updates leading up to the activity.
