Event Alert System

The Toronto Women’s Run Series will be using a colour-coded Event Alert System (EAS) at this year’s event to communicate the status of course conditions to event staff and participants leading up to and on race day.

The levels range from Low GREEN to Moderate YELLOW to High RED to Extreme BLACK based on a variety of factors, including weather and event conditions. All event staff and participants should familiarize themselves with the Event Alert System colour indicators prior to the race, remain alert for directions from race officials, announcers and staff and take precautions to prepare for varying weather and event conditions on race day.

Event staff and participants should stay tuned to the current Event Alert System status announcements and signage at the Information tents in the Pre & Post-Race Areas and at the Water & Aid Stations on course on race day.

Alert Level Event Conditions Recommended Actions
Extreme Event Cancelled/Extreme and Dangerous Participation stopped / Follow event official instructions
High Potentially Dangerous Slow down / Observe course changes / Follow event official instructions / Consider stopping
Moderate Less than ideal Slow down / Be prepared for worsening conditions
Low Good Conditions Enjoy the run / Be alert
