Weather Policy

Our policy for weather-related cancellations and makeups for outdoor training sessions.

Training Outdoors Year-Round

All of our training takes place outdoors on the track and field. Training outside helps us customize workouts to match the real competition environment athletes will face on race day. It also helps keep our fees affordable by not maintaining an expensive indoor facility.

Of course, the weather does not always cooperate. Below is our policy for handling weather-related cancellations and schedule adjustments.

Makeup Policy — You Never Pay for Weather

Your safety is our number one priority. You are never charged for sessions canceled due to weather. Missed sessions due to weather are made up, used to extend your training cycle, or refunded prorated at the end of your billing cycle.

Run For Performance assumes all weather risk. If we cancel, you do not lose out.

How We Make Decisions

Cancellation decisions are based on local weather conditions and Doppler radar. We monitor conditions closely leading up to each session and communicate any changes as early as possible.

It is rare for us to cancel. On average, we cancel only about 1 to 2 times per season.

Winter Cancellations

Sessions are canceled when the temperature drops below 12–15 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees for athletes under 12).
Sessions are canceled when the wind chill is below 0–5 degrees.
Sessions are canceled when snow or ice accumulation exceeds 2 inches.

Winter Gear Tips

Dress in moisture-wicking layers. Wear a hat, gloves, and a neck gaiter or balaclava in extreme cold. Avoid cotton, which retains moisture and can make you colder. Warm up indoors before heading out to your session.

Summer, Spring, and Fall Cancellations

Sessions are canceled for active storms and lightning in the area.
Sessions are canceled when temperatures exceed 90–93 degrees with high humidity.
Sessions are canceled for heavy or moderate sustained rain.

Summer Gear Tips

Wear light-colored, moisture-wicking clothing. Apply sunscreen before your session. Bring plenty of water and stay hydrated before, during, and after training. A hat or visor can help with sun protection.
