With excessive heat and humidity impacting much of the country this week, we urge all runners, race organizers, and club leaders to take extra precautions. High temperatures and dangerous heat indexes are forecasted nationwide. Hydration, heat acclimation, and safety protocols are critical.

Whether you're heading out for a training run or hosting a group event, prioritize safety:

• Run early in the morning or later in the evening when temperatures are lower
• Stay well-hydrated before, during, and after physical activity
• Consider reducing intensity or mileage based on conditions
• Know the signs of heat illness and act quickly if symptoms arise

For event organizers, now is a good time to review RRCA’s Safe Events Guidelines and adjust event plans accordingly.

Review and utilize the RRCA's Resources:

• Run Safe in Hot Weather Tips
• Hot Weather Running Guidelines for Youth & Adults
• Safe Events Guidelines: Event Alert System, Adverse Weather and more
