Management Plan - Fete des Lacs 5K/ 8K Run Includes: Traffic Management and Safety Plan Park and Course Set Up Volunteer Plan As of Wednesday, January 2, 2019 Management Plan - Fete des Lacs 5K/ 8K Run There are five (5)parts to this plan, Safety, Course Management, Registration and Timing, Park Management, and Volunteer Management. Each of these 5 parts should have leader. Safety falls under the domain of the Centennial Lakes Police Department assisted by the Anoka County Radio Club. Each of the other main areas of responsibility will require a Park and Rec Committee Volunteer. Recruiting sponsors and marketing the events are also key elements to a successful Fete des Lacs. Starting in 2018, these two areas have been accomplished by the Fete des Lacs Planning Committee and overseen by the City Staff. That worked very well in 2018 and therefore are not included in this plan/ Part 1 Safety/ Traffic/Emergency Communications Plan (CLPD & ACRC) Through the 10 year history of this event, we have enjoyed outstanding support from the Centennial Lakes Police Department, Centennial Fire Department, and the Anoka County Radio Club. During the 2018 Fete des Lacs we observed increased traffic on LaMotte drive about the time of the Run start. We had moved the start time earlier by 30 minutes; which did not reduce the traffic conflicts. We have always had the potential for traffic issues at key intersections. However, with the presence of a uniformed police officer there has never been an issue. With that background here are the principle elements of the Fete des Lacs 5K/8K Run Safety/ Traffic/Emergency Communications Plan A. Call 911 in the event of serious accident, violence of any kind, or potential threat of violence or public disruption. B Call 911 in the event of a medical emergency. Volunteers assisting the announcers and timers will be instruction to watch for signs of heat exhaustion or other medical issues. The goal is to physically hand every runners /walker a bottle of cool water at the water stops and the finish line. C. North Memorial Ambulance Service will be on call and located as coordinated by the CLPD. D. The Anoka County Radio Club supports this event with emergency and routine communications. Station a ACRC volunteer with the Race Director and at each location where we have an CLPD officer, at each water stop, at the entrance to Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park(RCCLRP) and at the 5K Turn Around. ACRC volunteer will keep their network informed as to the nature of all emergencies and of the routine flow of runners and walkers progress.
