BALTIMORE WOMENS CLASSIC 5K

FOOTRACE

Sunday, June 26, 2011

Start Time: 8 AM.

Neighborhood Notification

The route for the Womens Classic 5K was laid out with the goal that auto traffic would be maintained on the major streets. Frequently, however, roads along race routes must be closed to maintain the safety of the runners. Accordingly, South Baltimore Residents are advised to consider that any of the roads that make up the race route could be closed until the runners pass. Neighborhood-specific information is as follows:

SHARP-LEADENHALL, OTTERBEIN: Travel to the north toward Downtown will not be affected. Access to I-95 via Conway Street and I-395 will be unaffected.

Travel the south could be affected as the runners utilize Fort Avenue, Race and Ostend Streets.

FEDERAL HILL: Travel north toward Downtown will not be affected. I-95 can be accessed via Conway Street and I-395.

Travel to the south could be affected as the runners cross the north-south streets twice – once on Fort Avenue (westbound) and once following Ostend-Charles-Henrietta-Warren-William-Key Highway (eastbound).

FEDERAL HILL SOUTH, SBNA, RIVERSIDE: Early in the race (8 AM) north-south travel will not be affected, but as the runners reach Fort Avenue and later Ostend Street, travel in both the north and south directions could be affected. It is expected that at that time, Key Highway south of Rash Field should reopen so residents can exit the neighborhood using Cross Street east, Key Highway south and McComas Street west where there is access to I-95 and thence to I-395.

Residents of areas south of Fort Avenue can avoid the race route by proceeding south.

LOCUST POINT: Residents of Locust Point are advised that they can avoid the race route by following Andre Street to McComas Street where they can access I-95 to I-395.
