Subject: RE: Official Thread: Fall Creek Falls OLY iruptacopula - 2011-08-24 8:49 AM Yeah, it sucks. It was my only olympic planned for this year. I talked to Race director after he cancell and said he would probably give free or deep discount to the Atomic Du. I am glad he decided to discount next years race because i wasn't to thrill about doing a Du. I don't understand why it couldn't be delayed for an hour or so. They didn't close the roads or anything and it is Sunday most people probably would come to the park until after church anyway. I'm sure it was a tough call. Did he have any way to know the weather was going to break? Or maybe he couldn't keep all the volunteers for a few hours later than they'd planned to? I wasn't there, wasn't planning to race but am pretty sad for all the folks who were disappointed. Puts him in a tough spot. If he gives everyone a free entry next year (or to any other event) it takes revenue from him next year. But of course, he didn't provide the service folks had paid for...yet incurred most or all of the cost...So it's a tough spot to be in. I wonder what event insurance would cost? I mean the type of insurance that would guarantee his income if he were to have to cancel and refund all the $$? I think concert promoters have something like this in case the venue burns down, or the act gets sick...Short of that, someone's got to lose out. |
