The 5K route will cut across Blueberry Lane to Nichols Avenue.

At 4:15 p.m. the entire race route will be closed to all traffic except for emergency vehicles. The race route will remain closed until the last runner has passed through a particular section or roadway of the route.

The race is being run in reverse this year to help alleviate traffic. The entire roadway will be re-opening no later than 6:30 p.m. During the closing ceremonies, traffic around the Huntington Green will be reduced to one lane to allow safe traffic control and pedestrian crossing.
