There will be slight delays in traffic, but no roads are 100% closed. We will be down to one lane right before 8 am. This event is a permitted event, and there will be traffic officers throughout the course.
We will have several volunteers taking photos on race day. We do not have a professional photographer for the race and do not guarantee finisher photos of every person on race day, but we definitely do our best to get as many photos as possible. If you see yourself in a photo, please feel free to save it and use it or tag yourself in it. We love getting to put names with all the faces! Photos will be posted on our Facebook Page later in the week following the race after we have had time to process them. They will be uploaded to the Run for the Son Facebook Page. All photos are covered by the race waiver to be used in future promotional campaigns.
