NOTE TO ALL PARTICIPANTS:

In an effort to reduce congestion on the pedestrian walkway, the Danville Police Department has agreed to close the right lane of the North Bound MLK Bridge to allow ALL RUNNERS to utilize the road which will allow only WALKERS to cross using the pedestrian walkway. 

Those participating in the 5K Run/10K, and 1/2 marathon, will begin their event as they always have by running down Bridge Street, (please beware of the cobblestones), toward Patton Street, but will now cross the Dan River using the Right Hand Traffic lane on the North Bound MLK Bridge which will be closed to traffic. They will take a Right onto the Right Hand Lane of River Street, (58 East), and take another RIGHT onto the sidewalk at the Davenport Gas Company as they proceed to the Riverwalk Trail. 

IMPORTANT-Here is where the HALF MARATHONERS will NOW take a Right onto the River Walk Trail and head toward the YMCA and the the 5K RUN/10K RUNNERS will enter the River Walk Trail on the Left, headed toward Dan Daniels Park.

The Walkers will cross the MLK Bridge on the pedestrian sidewalk as they always have done. They will stay on the sidewalk when they get to 58East/ River Street, take a right at Davenport Energy and enter the River Walk Trail on the RIGHT, heading toward the YMCA. 

WALKERS-Please be aware and respectful of the 1/2 marathoners who may be returning to the finish line at the same time that you are. Please give them ample space on your RIGHT as they merge with you upon EXITING THE RIVER WALK TRAIL and continue back onto 58. This is a change from last year. THANK YOU!

The runners and walkers will return to the finish line the same way they came out. The walkers will again have the entire pedestrian walkway on the MLK Bridge available to them, thus reducing congestion at the start and finish of each race. After leaving the River Walk Trail, all of the runners will return on 58 and the now left hand lane of the MLK Bridge and turning LEFT back onto Bridge Street and to the finish line.
