New 2020 Start/Finish Location: Riverview Park, 1524 W. A Street, Pasco
2020 has been a roller coaster ride to be sure, but Pasco Parks and Rec is pleased to announce, in accordance with state and local safety guidelines, the 42nd Annual running of the Lampson Cable Bridge Run! Participants will choose between a LIVE in-person, socially distanced race experience, or a VIRTUAL race experience. The LIVE run will be held on either Dec. 19th or Dec. 20th with participants choosing the date they want to run. Start times** will also be chosen, and spread out over the course of several hours to ensure safety for runners and volunteers. The course will be different, but the 10K and 5K runners will get to run the bridge not once, but TWICE! VIRTUAL race participants will be able to run 10K, 5K or 1 Mile at their convenience between 12/17 and 12/2328 and post results to the virtual results page. Things might be a little different this year, but come out and enjoy this fun and exciting holiday tradition!

COVID-19 Considerations
Obviously the Pandemic is forcing us to make some changes this year. Hopefully this will answer any questions you may have. Please check back frequently. More answers will be added.
LIVE RUN:
- Masks: are required in the venue area before and after the race.
- Start times for the live race: Only 10 runners will be allowed to start every 2 minutes per government guidelines. You will sign up for a start time upon registering. Please arrive as close to your start time as possible (not more than 15 minutes early) and be prepared to start soon thereafter to avoid congregating.
- At the Finish: Please move away from the finish line and grab your snack and water, and then head home. We need to maintain the best social distancing possible in the park.
- Course maps: There will be no printed maps available, so please take a good look at the maps below. The courses are NOT the same as the traditional routes run in the past.
- Safety: While the run is primarily on paths and sidewalks, there are no closed roads as in the past; please follow the rules of the road and stay on the sidewalk while on the bridge.
- Spectators: sorry, you'll have to leave them at home. They are not allowed per government guidelines.
VIRTUAL RUN:
- Pricing: the virtual race cost is $5 more than the live run to cover the cost of prepping and mailing packets. ALL virtual run packets will be mailed.
- Results posting: directions on how to post results will be emailed a few days before the race.
- RunKeeper: there are many apps you can use to track your run. RunKeeper works in conjunction with Race Roster, and the directions for results posting will be included in the email for posting results. If you would like to use the app prior to the run, you can find more info here: https://runkeeper.com/cms/.
Course Maps
Maps for the 2020 LIVE Runs are here! If you are a VIRTUAL runner, you can run one of these courses if you like, or complete your chosen distance anywhere!
Please Note: Because of COVID, the required phased/staggered start and the extended period of time the bridge would need to be closed, WSDOT will not issue a permit to close the Cable Bridge this year. When running along roads participants must obey the rules of the road and stay on sidewalks. This includes when crossing over and back on the Cable Bridge. Sidewalks are narrow on the bridge so use caution, be safe, and be courteous when passing or being passed.

Shuttles
There will be no shuttle service this year as race start times are staggered and the Start and Finish lines are located in the same area. There are 2 Parking areas located at Riverview Park (1524 W.
