WASHINGTON– Planning on participating in the Cherry Blossom Run on Sunday? High winds have caused some changes in the day’s events.
- Both the 5K and the 10 mile run are still on, but the Kids’ Run has been cancelled.
- There won’t be any overhead signage like banners and posters, as well as split-time clocks and other on-course signage.
- The tents on the Washington Monument grounds will be taken down, with the exception of the bag check tent and the main medical tent.
- There will be no pre-race warm up or post-race awards ceremony.
- After completing the race, runners will be given heat blankets and water, and encouraged to head home .
