► XC PAUSATF XC Championships rescheduled for Sun. Nov. 25, 2018
The USATF Pacific XC Championship has been rescheduled for November 25 at the same Golden Gate Park location as the cancelled Nov. 18 event. Check back for additional details.
► XC PAUSATF XC Championships on Sunday Nov. 18, 2018 postponed
As of Thursday, Nov. 15 the Environmental Protection Agency (EPI) forecast the Air Quality Index for race day to be unhealthy for sensitive groups. The EPI defines this as follows:
• Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups. When AQI (Air Quality Index) values are between 101 and 150, members of sensitive groups may experience health affects, but the general public is unlikely to be affected.
• Ozone: People with lung disease, children, older adults, and people who are active outdoors are considered sensitive and therefore at greater risk.
• Particle pollution: People with heart or lung disease, older adults and children are considered sensitive and therefore at greater risk.
1 Due to the normal aging process, older adults may experience increased health risks from exposure to unhealthy air. Studies indicate that some people become more sensitive in their mid-60s. However, the risk of heart attacks, and thus the risk from particle pollution, may begin as early as the mid-40s for men and mid-50s for women.
As a result of worsening air quality, the PAUSATF XC Championships race scheduled for Sunday November 18, 2018 has been postponed. We want to thank you for your patience as we worked through this decision.
The LDR is looking into whether this race can be held on a different date. The Race Director’s preferred date would be 11/25 (a postponement of one week). Other possible dates we are exploring are 12/30, 1/6, or 1/20. Your input is always appreciated. We will communicate our decision on postponement or cancellation as soon as possible.
► XC PA XC Champ. is on until air quality updates, 1pm Friday.
The USATF Pacific Association Cross Country Championship is on. It is expected to be run without changes because of expected improvements to air quality.
However, the LDR committee is aware that current air quality may get worse than predicted. The factors are ever-changing, and we are watching. As of now, the meet is on. The predicted Air Quality Index for Sunday in San Francisco is Orange (less than 150). We will make a final decision by 1:00pm on Friday. If at that time the predicted Sunday AQI remains below 150, we will run the race. If the predicted AQI for Sunday rises above 150, we will cancel. The decision to go ahead as planned or possibly cancel will be posted on the official PAUSATF website after 1pm on Friday.
► RR Makie Ohler takes World Championship Gold in Toronto
The PA’s Makie Ohler took advantage of the opportunity when the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon agreed to host World Masters Athletics’ first stand-alone World Marathon Championship. Makie powered to a 3:14:25, to take the gold medal in the F55-59 division beating her nearest rival by more than 10 minutes. An even more impressive time considering the cold and windy conditions in Toronto.
