Run Around the Square – General information for volunteers along the course
Review the map below to familiarize yourself with the courses (they are different).
Last minute bib and t-shirt pick up begins at 7am. There are bathrooms at WSCC and portable units at the starting line + 5K finish line.
Note that the course will close to vehicles by 7:45am on race morning and there are “No Parking” zones marked along the course. If you are volunteering on Saturday morning, allow enough time to navigate the parking challenges. Consider parking in Edgewood and walking over. Also remember that until the 5k is safely through the neighborhood, the roads will remain closed.
The 1.5 mile race begins at 8:15 and it ends at LaClair and Overton
The 5K begins at 9am and ends in Fern Hollow, Frick Park at the bottom of the Falls Ravine Trail
Both races begin near the Environmental Charter School but they each finish somewhere different.
Awards for both races are given at the 5K finish line
Watch for cars or spectators trying to enter the race course! All residents were notified by letter that driving would not be permitted starting at 7:45am.
Help keep runners on the correct course.
Cheer on the participants!

There are paramedics at the finish line. Call 911 if anyone needs emergency assistance!
