I said they should institute a 1 day delay option every year. Take another holiday. Tourists would have to stay extra day so win win.
But no, they won't cancel unless freeze rain, which is out for tomorrow.

By themselves, 20-30 mph winds, torrential downpours and ~30 degree windchills are not that bad in isolation.
But realistically, you are looking at a lot of volunteers no-showing in an environment where 30,000 are going to be at risk for some pretty rough conditions. I feel like the underwriter of the event has be pushing hard at this point.
At a certain point one has to ask, what is the race trying to prove?

It happened at Disney a few years ago, and those runners are more serious and faster than Boston runners - so if it happened there, it could happen here

Only Boomers would whine loud enough to get BAA to cancel. Thankfully enough millennials (who are much more like the Greatest Generation than they are their pathetic Boomer parents) are running that the race will go on.

I'm 1 hr south of Boston, and the forecast for our area is "SLEET AND POCKETS OF FREEZING RAIN" for Mon morning...things could get worse and, if they do, I hope they postpone.
