Craig W. Barrett - Hughesville MD Real Estate

I regret to inform you we've made the decision to postpone the Hughesville 10k Festival.

According to the National Weather Service Southern Maryland should begin to experience sustained winds of 40 mph with gusts up to 60 mph early Saturday morning lasting into late afternoon. The strongest winds will occur east of the Interstate 95 corridor.

They also indicate that Southern Maryland will most likely experience the strongest winds on the western shore. Rain will begin across our area sometime Friday afternoon. However, the heaviest rains are expected Saturday morning as Hanna makes its closest approach to Charles County. Rainfall totals of 3 to 6 inches are possible resulting in flash flooding of small streams, creeks, and development areas with significant non-permeable surfaces.

Based on the forecast, and with little change in Hanna's track between last night and this morning, it is clear we need to postpone.

There will be two options for registrants:

• Transfer registration to new race day (date TBD)
• Request refund

I will broadcast the new run and Festival date as soon as it's settled.

As always, feel free to email or call me with questions.

Craig Barrett

Hughesville 10K Festival Race Director

We're still watching the storm track closely. Since Tuesday, Hannah's track has moved further east and has Hannah arriving later than expected. But, we're under a Tropical Storm watch with sustained winds of 39-73mph. Keep your fingers crossed something positive happens over the next 12-24 hours.

We will make a go/no go decision no later than noon Friday and will broadcast via email to registrants and post on Hughesvillerunningclub.com.

Missing from the map is the Hughesville Bypass. Those of you that live in the area are familiar with it, but those that don't, please don't be surprised when you arrive in Hughesville and see the road split. As you can see from the map, three parking lots are south of the Start/Finish line and would need to take the bypass to reach them. All American Harley-Davidson is accessible on the north end by taken Business Route 5 only.
