In case of bad weather, cancellation or postponement is possible, so check the organizer's announcement on the day. After the event ends, surrounding roads and buses become very congested, so staggered departure times are recommended. The riverbed is dark, so it's reassuring to have a smartphone light or flashlight ready.
