Park Point Five Miler, July 17, Thursday, 630pm: CHECK THE LINK FOR ROAD CLOSURES ON PARK POINT

• Road Closure information is the same, but as follows:
  • 5:30 PM – Start line closes for set-up – traffic to Sky Harbor is routed through the parking lot South of the Beach House
  • 6:00 PM – Minnesota Ave south of 23rd St closes to traffic (note that we always try to allow for a bit of wiggle room here for residents but we don’t want to publicize that)
  • 6:30 PM – 5 Mile run start
  • 6:35 PM – 2 Mile walk start
  • 7:10 PM – Estimated final participant reaches turnaround (2328 Minnesota Ave). DPD begins to gradually allow local traffic Northbound only in the Lakeside lane
  • 7:45 PM – Minnesota Ave fully open to traffic

• Small (hopeful) improvement this year: we hope to start allowing traffic NORTHBOUND from the Point in the Lakeside lane of Minnesota Ave around 7:15 (typically closer to 7:45), as soon as the final runners make the turnaround between 23^rd and 24^th. The race has always been run “clockwise,” that is, runners headed North in the Bayside lane, and back South to the Point in the Lakeside lane. We are switching that this year, in an experiment to try to allow for earlier, safe traffic flow out.

Summary of the April 26 2025 Walking Audit is here. Whittier School and Park Point Store and more PP history here from CW Barry, thank you!
