Important Update: Roadrunner Rally - Rescheduled to 11-16-24
New Date: 11-16-24
Update as of Friday, October 4, 2024
To our Roadrunner Rally Participants and Volunteers:
After careful consultation with the Avondale Estates Police Department and the Roadrunner Rally Committee and in light of severe weather conditions that impacted the safety of the 5k and 1 Mile Fun Run routes on original scheduled date of September 28, 2024, we have made the decision to reschedule the Roadrunner Rally event to November 16, 2024. The safety of our participants and volunteers is our top priority, and we believe this is the best course of action to ensure everyone's well-being.
We have coordinated with all involved parties—including AES, the City of Avondale Estates, and our race timing company—to finalize the rescheduled date for 11-16-24 for the event. Thank you for your patience and flexibility as we navigated this process.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We look forward to coming together for the Roadrunner Rally on November 16th!
