Cancellation of CRASH-Bs?
Do they ever cancel due to weather?

Re: Cancellation of CRASH-Bs?
I don't really know...I'd say it's possible if the weather is absolutely horrendous Saturday and Sunday and only a small percentage of competitors could make it to Boston, but otherwise I think it's on, barring a complete shutdown of transportation options. Last year they had sent an e-mail out on the Wednesday prior to race day announcing erg assignments etc. This year, erg assignments are up, but no official e-mail announcement from the CRASH-B organizers...

Re: Cancellation of CRASH-Bs?
No. CRASHBs will go irrespective of weather. Last year we had a significant snowstorm the evening before and day of CRASHBs and it impacted attendance and travel for many. I was in the 55-59 bracket last year where we normally have 40-50 competitors and we were about half that at time of the race due to weather. Hey, I improved my finish by 20 places over the previous year just on attendance reduction, though I did also set a new personal record.
