Fort-4-Fitness Half Marathon to pass through Southwood Park on Saturday
Have you been wondering what those painted arrows on the street are about? The mystery has been solved...The Board was very excited to learn that thousands of runners will be passing through Southwood Park this Saturday. Those runners will be participating in the Fort-4-Fitness Half Marathon. We are happy that thousands of people will get to enjoy the beauty and charm of our neighborhood, even if they're just running past. For many of these people, we can assume that it's the first time they've visited our corner of Fort Wayne. Hopefully, some of them will visit again when they can enjoy the sights more!It will be a different kind of Saturday morning with a race winding through the neighborhood. Spend some time out front watching the race. Encourage the runners! Who knows, you may find yourself feeling inspired to join next year's event.Now with an event this size going on, there are a couple things you need to know:
- If you live on the half marathon route, you can expect "NO PARKING" signs to be placed in front of your house. Click HERE for a list of road closures and parking restrictions.
- Parking on those streets will be restricted on the day of the race, in the morning. Please make sure no cars are on the street.
- Because race streets will be closed, if you're heading out Saturday morning, you will need to consult the map to plan your exit from the neighborhood. Click HERE for a map of the race route.
We wish all runners a great race day - good luck! We hope Fort-4-Fitness comes back in 2010!
