We've received notice on Saturday from State Fair officials that the fairgrounds will be closed to the running club during the National High School Rodeo. That means that groups will not be able to start from the Fairgrounds or run onto the Fairgrounds on Tuesday or Saturday this week. Please look for an email or phone call from your group leaders to find out where your group will meet this week. Groups are not able to re-locate to Lincoln Park unless you use side streets for parking and walk/run to the park because parking there will restricted starting this week. A major construction project is revising the entrance and parking at Nelson Center. Parking is expected to be cut by 50% during the project.
Alternatives are to use side streets for parking and alter the running routes to stay off the fairgrounds, re-locate to another site--Washington Park, Interurban Trail and Lost Bridge Trail at IDOT are all possibilities, or find another location in the park/fairgrounds area to meet for a run to the cemetery. Plan to bring a water bottle with you to the run on Tuesday since you may not run past a SRRC water stop! We'll post as much information as we can here about where groups are meeting on Tuesday.
Run with us!
