The 3.1 mile run will start and <br />end at the Environmental Learning Center on Live Oak Drive <br />and will utilize CR�10, the high bridge, and an additional <br />segment of CR510 west of SR AlA. It is anticipated that <br />between 100 and 200 runners of all ages will participate in <br />this race which is projected to consume approximately 45 <br />minutes. <br />Since the race participants will include persons from "8 <br />thru 80 years of age" and the race course will involve the <br />participants running both eastbound and westbound on CR510, <br />the County Traffic Engineer, representatives of the <br />Sheriff's Department along with Randy Dowling have <br />determined that, for safety reasons, this section of roadway <br />should be closed to all vehicular traffic from 8:00 AM to <br />9:00 AM for the race. <br />This method was used last October for the race with no <br />problem since the closure is of such short duration. <br />Traffic Engineering will place signs at both the USI and SR <br />AlA intersections indicating that the roadway will be closed <br />between 8 & 9 AM " on October 24, 1992 for a week before the <br />event. The signs used last year will be re -used. <br />Sheriff Deputies will be on duty at both the easterly and <br />westerly portions of the roadway closure as will the County <br />Traffic Engineering staff, maintaining temporary barricades <br />for the event. <br />In addition, Vero Beach High School ROTC cadets in uniform, <br />will be utilized to restrict any and all traffic attempting <br />to enter CR510 via the few side streets involved. <br />The Environmental Learning Center will have emergency and <br />support vehicles along the route to assist any person or <br />persons who cannot complete the run within one hour and a <br />refreshment stand will be available to assist as well. <br />At 7:30 AM a "1 mile fun run/walk" will take place solely on <br />Live Oak Drive. This short event will be over well before <br />the 8:00 AM start time for the main run. <br />86 <br />3utn <br />L <br />
