A variety of roads will be closed through the morning on Sunday, March 20 for Rotary Run. The City, Police and Parks and Rec. departments, along with the race organizers, have worked to minimize the disruptions, but residents are urged to use caution when driving on the Island that day.
Drivers are also encouraged to the Island Crest Way as the main north to south route during the morning, but if East, West or North Mercer use is unavoidable drivers should travel in a counterclockwise direction.
