I regret to inform you we've made the decision to postpone the Hughesville 10k Festival.
According to the National Weather Service Southern Maryland should begin to experience sustained winds of 40 mph with gusts up to 60 mph early Saturday morning lasting into late afternoon. The strongest winds will occur east of the Interstate 95 corridor.
They also indicate that Southern Maryland will most likely experience the strongest winds on the western shore. Rain will begin across our area sometime Friday afternoon. However, the heaviest rains are expected Saturday morning as Hanna makes its closest approach to Charles County. Rainfall totals of 3 to 6 inches are possible resulting in flash flooding of small streams, creeks, and development areas with significant non-permeable surfaces.
Based on the forecast, and with little change in Hanna's track between last night and this morning, it is clear we need to postpone.
There will be two options for registrants:
- Transfer registration to new race day (date TBD)
- Request refund
I will broadcast the new run and Festival date as soon as it's settled.
As always, feel free to email or call me with questions.
Craig Barrett
Hughesville 10K Festival Race Director
