Route Impact

First of the marathon training-series runs — two loops of the park drives at marathon pace, starting 7 AM. Race-Day Central is behind the backstop of Ballfield #8 near East Drive and 102nd Street, so the north end carries staging from around 5:30 AM. Expect the full loop to be busy with runners until mid-morning; the loop is not closed to the public, but it will be crowded and slow for cyclists.
