Some roads will be redirected temporarily while runners take all or part of the roadway. Please review the attached photos to see the routes for each race. The closer you are to the start, the quicker the runners will clear. As the runners spread out over the longer distance courses, traffic will be allowed to operate as normal with "pulsing" of cars across any street/driveway entrances that are affected along the route.
Feel free to cheer on these runners from around the country and welcome them to our Andover. For more information on the event, visithttp://rw.runnersworld.com/classic/
