Reminder: Everyone is to meet at the Fairgrounds for the practice 10K!

The practice 10K is tomorrow!

Everyone is to meet at the Fairgrounds for our practice run on the actual Abe's Amble course.

Please park in Lot 21, and walk over to the Commodities Pavilion across the street from the Grandstand.

You can run your own pace for the practice 10k or stay with your group. Since this will be set up as an actual race and with all the people on the course we can let everyone run at their own pace. Groups may run together if they wish but definitely try and run your own race. Leaders may also stay with their group if they wish.

Remember to be respectful of traffic:
Remember to stay to the left side of the road as you want to be able to see the traffic coming towards you and do not run more than 2 abreast. We continue to see groups running the entire length of the road! If you do see a car coming towards you or hear a car behind you, please notify the other runners by yelling "car up or car back." With the great crowds we have this year safety and courtesy are extremely important.

Please be mindful of the Rules of the Road so that we can all be safe together.

Volunteers are still needed to assist with the water stations! Grab your family and have them cheer everyone on as they help pass out water.

There will be 3 water stations:
1) Entrance of Lincoln Park
2) Black Street
3) War Memorial in the cemetery

We will ask runners to try and drop your used cups in a trash can. Please be considerate and do not string them all over the neighborhood, park and cemetery.

Congratulations! That finish line is getting closer!
