News... |
| The
decision is final. We are going to be using the new
ChronoTrack timing system for the 2008 Gazelle Sports
Bridge Run this year! What this does is change the
starting line of the race to the existing finish line
position. That means the the race will start on Monroe
Center Ave. on the bricks. So, ignore the new location
of the start line advertised in the brochures. Don't
worry...the start line will be easily found on race
morning.
One word of note, as much as we try to
make our race course safe by having a great medical
team of Metro Health Sports Medicine and LifeEMS
on hand along with closing the course to traffic,
some accidents do occur. Help us by watching for
vehicles that some how insist on ignoring our barricades.
Our course marshals do a great job, but some drivers
show no respect for running events. Also in Riverside
Park, though it's closed to traffic, there will
be residents of the community out and about unaware
of the race. Please be careful of them and courteous
if they happen to be in the way.

New this year
is the 10 Mile walk. Whether you are a regular fitness walker
or a Nordic walker, this is a great way to get into the
event and reap the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. You
get the same tech shirt and the yummy organic snacks at
the finish line as the runners. Walking
groups are forming at Gazelle Sports.
This
is for serious walkers with a cut-off time of 10:30am.
At that point, if you are still on the course, you will
be asked to move onto the side walks and no traffic support
will be available. |
| Training
runs from the DDH YMCA -- public welcome |
