We now have electricity, but Brookings will be in recovery mode for a few weeks. Thank you to all of the volunteers and city employees who put in hours of work yesterday to give our race a fighting chance. Difficult times, but it's heartening to see our community come together.
For runners from 5K to the Marathon, we need a couple of business days to explore a possible fall event. Expect an email later this week with options.

Dear Runners,
We have just received word from incident command and the City of Brookings that the May 14, 2022, Brookings Marathon has been cancelled.
The Brookings Community was hit by a devastating wind storm last night. Hundreds of trees block roads and trails throughout the community. Power has been out since the storm hit, and we are not expected to get power back until sometime tonight at the earliest. Restaurants, hotels and gas stations are closed. It is not safe to host our event at this time. We are very sorry to share this news. We will post additional information about the race as soon as possible.
