  • Main Street will be closed from Center Street to Charter Oak Street from 5 a.m. to until race clean up is complete around 1 p.m. 
  • At 8:45 a.m., Exit 3 of I-384 will be closed in both directions. 
  • The entire length of the 4.75-mile course will be closed to vehicular traffic beginning at 9:15 a.m. Roads will be re-opened after the trail car passes each of them.
