Parking is available in city lots around Winter and Union streets. Portable restrooms will be placed near the Winter and Union intersection. Dogs are allowed if leashed. Strollers are allowed; children in strollers do not need separate registration unless they join the kids race or want a medal. There is no race-day registration or packet pickup.
Course and race logistics
The course begins and ends on East Winter Street near the library and passes local downtown landmarks. The route runs up Sandusky Street, continues down Wilmer Street, includes an out-and-back section on Henry Street, crosses a pedestrian bridge above Route 23, and returns on East Winter Street to the finish. Portions of the course are coned to maintain traffic patterns. On Sandusky Street (from William to Wilmer) runners will use the parking lane and one running lane on the far left. Winter Street from Lake St to Estelle St will be coned down the middle with runners on the right lane. Volunteers and course marshals direct runners at key intersections.
