Please Note: The 5K & 10K course are on an 'open' course, meaning you may have an occasional vehicle passing you on your right (left lane for participants, right lane for auto). The reason for this being the course around Constellation Stadium turns in and out thru residential areas surrounding.  Please be aware of this on event morning, and we'll have the course marked with cones down the middle of the street to signify the split lane course, as needed, for vehicles passing.  At this time of the morning, there will likely be very limited traffic.
