The run is now set up as an out-and-back! The run will go from Judd Rd. by the Kurt Wyman Park Entrance to Halsey Rd. Runners will then turn left and run up Halsey Rd. on the sidewalk to Gibson Rd. Runners will then turn onto Gibson Rd. and run on the sidewalk to the Whitestown Town Park to the second entrance where the turn around will be. Runners will then run down Gibson Rd. on the right side of the road to Halsey Rd. Runners will then turn right onto Halsey Rd. and run back on the sidewalk to Judd Rd. Runners will run down Judd Rd. to the finish. There will also be one water station located at the Whitestown Park Entrance on Gibson Rd where the turnaround is located. Roads will be open to cars, so please note traffic and stick to the right along Gibson and Judd Roads. See the route here.
Post Run Party
After the run, we will gather inside Accelerate. They have generously staffed the facility for us, so we're encouraging all runners to use their smoothie and coffee bar for post race refreshments! Please bring a few dollars for your favorite post-run snack.
This run is also a great time to get a view/tour of Accelerate Sports Complex! Accelerate has also extended the following discount to all Utica Roadrunners members:
- $50 for an Annual Track Membership (includes locker room access)
A membership is a great last minute gift idea.
