Race closes street lanes around Hayward Field on Friday

A street run looping around the Hayward Field block on Friday, July 29, will present traffic and parking challenges in the east campus area.

The TrackTown Team Challenge is a four-mile run that will close the lanes of traffic closest to the Hayward block from about 1:30-7 p.m. The route includes the southbound lane of Agate Street between 15th and 18th avenues; the westbound lane of East 18th Avenue between Agate and University streets; the northbound lane of University Street between East 18th and East 15th avenues; and the eastbound lane of East 15th Avenue between University and Agate Streets. 

The street parking spaces on the inside of the loop — the lanes nearest the Hayward block — will be closed all day Friday. The other, adjacent lanes will function normally, though drivers should use caution and follow the directions of race and traffic officials.

The run itself starts at 5 p.m. Details and registration are at http://gotracktownusa.com/events/tracktown-team-challenge/
