Along the race course temporary road closures will be necessary as the race moves throughout the neighborhood.  Residents of the affected areas will be escorted through the traffic closures to minimize the impact on the community.  All road closures will be reopened by 9:30 am.

Residents are asked to park vehicles in driveways to reduce the congestion on the affected streets to allow more runners through the neighborhood as quickly as possible which will result in a return to normal conditions.
