We are monitoring this issue very closely and are in direct contact with key medical personnel and officials from Environment Canada.  Our Medical Team has equipment and expertise to handle any and all issues that may arise.  Winds are expected to be high over the next couple of days and combined with the expected rain on Saturday and Sunday, this will help clear the area for both race days. With the new courses and forecasted ideal temperatures, we are  expecting some record Edmonton times. Any changes in race details will immediately be posted to the website.
