Important Course Information!
The Bridge 2 Bridge Half Marathon will be ran throughout Ashtabula City. This course remains OPEN TO TRAFFIC, and all runners must stay to the side of the roadway at all times. Please be especially aware in restricted areas marked with cones. Wearing a bib number does not give runners permission to run in the middle of the road. Your safety is our top priority, so stay alert and be aware of vehicles throughout the race.
COURSE DIRECTIONAL SIGNS
Please follow the orange directional arrow signs featuring the Stasny Road Racing logo throughout the course. These are the official course signs and will be placed at every turn along with additional signage on longer straightaway sections to help keep runners on course.
ROAD TAPE MARKINGS
Orange directional duct tape markings will also be placed on the roadway throughout the course. These markings will point in the direction runners need to travel and will be located at all turns and most intersections for additional course guidance.
CONE RESTRICTION AREAS
For the safety of all participants, runners must remain alert and follow all posted course signs, directional arrows, cones, and instructions from course volunteers. Always stay on the designated side of the roadway as directed and be aware of surrounding traffic. Your cooperation is essential to ensuring a safe and enjoyable race for everyone. It is very important to note that these are NOT course direction signs. For course directions, you must follow the orange tape markings and orange signs.
