-U ~ ~ ~ ~~ 1~_/~ ~ ~ To: Elk River Parks & Recreation Department From: Sharon Johnston Date: 05/27/09 Re: 10K Race on September 19, 2009 We are seeking approval for a Major Park Use Permit for hosting a 10K run and a 5K fun run/walk on Saturday, September 19, 2009. The race event is open to the community for anyone interested in participating. The goal is to promote fun and fitness and to provide a race opportunity in the Elk River community. The 10K race will start and end at Central Lutheran Church on 1103 School Street. The 5K run/walk will start in the parking lot of Woodland Trails. Both races will start 10:00 a.m. Both the 10K and the 5K should be finished by 11:15 a.m. Immediately following the race we plan to serve a box lunch to the participants and guests in Central's parking lot. Race route: The participants of the 5K will start in the parking lot of Woodland Trails. They will run through the trails and end in the parking lot of Central Lutheran Church. The 10K participants will start in the parking lot of Central Lutheran Church on School Street. They will run west along School Street and turn north at County 1 and School Street. They will continue to run north on the path, along County road 1 past the golf course and enter the Woodland Trail Park system through the parking lot. They will then run through the trails and exit at the south end of the trails near Meadowvale School. From there they will continue back south on the paved path and side walk back to School Street turning eastbound and into the parking lot of Central Lutheran Church. We will need Police escort assistance for the start of the race on School Street and for assistance with traffic control as the runners return from Woodland Trails at two intersections: 199th Street and Proctor and School Street and Proctor. This is the same as last year's event.
