<br />CENTENNIAL LAKES PD <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />Ron <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />Russ <br /> <br />RE: <br /> <br />Fetes Des Lacs 8K PlanninglPermit Issues <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />June 3, 2009 <br /> <br />Ron: <br /> <br />This memorandum provides an overview of general information about and issues arising <br />from the proposed road race. It follows my June 2, 2009 meeting with event organizer <br />Pat Branch during which we rode the course. <br /> <br />General Information <br /> <br />a. Distance: This is an 8K or 4.96 mile run/walk. It is to be a "certified" run <br />meaning that it will attract some serious runners (serious ~ 5 to 6 minute per mile <br />pace). It will also attract walkers who reasonably can be anticipated to complete a <br />mile in 20 minutes or so. It is the walkers who prevent a more significant safety <br />issue as they are the ones who will be out on the course and in the elements the <br />longest. <br /> <br />b. Course: The start line is on Meadow Lane just east of the intersection with <br />Centerville Road. Centerville city streets are utilized as follows: Meadow Lane to <br />Dupre Road, Dupre Road to Pioneer Lane, Pioneer Lane to Eagle Trail, and Eagle <br />Trail back to Dupre Road. The participants will then follow Dupre Road to Main <br />Street where they will head west and run on an asphalt path that parallels the road <br />until they reach the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Park (hereafter "county park"). <br />Please note that utilizing the path requires runners to cross Progress Road and <br />Centerville Road before entering the county park. <br /> <br />The remainder of the race takes place on the main road of the county park (aIkIa <br />"County Parkway E" or "Centerville Way") until it reaches the paved path that <br />begins just beyond the boat launch area. Runners and walkers will then be on the <br />path until it ends at Lamotte Park just behind the ice rink/skateboard rink. The <br />run ends in the parking lot of Lamotte Park. <br />
