We are working closely with the City of Hattiesburg to make sure runners, volunteers and motorists are safe throughout the race. For this reason, road closures will exist from approximately 6 a.m. until Noon on Saturday, April 2, in Downtown Hattiesburg, The Oaks, Parkhaven, Longleaf Heights and around The University of Southern Mississippi. A map of closures and notes is attached.

Throughout the city, traffic will continue to flow with the help of law enforcement personnel and volunteers. However, the following streets will be closed for the majority of the event:

• Hardy Street (from McLeod Street to West Pine Street/West Front Street)

• West Pine Street (from 6th Avenue to Hardy Street) - will open at 10 a.m.

• Front Street (from Hardy Street to Mobile Street)

• Main Street (from McLeod/Jackson Street to Buschman Street)

• Jackson Street (from Melrose Street to Main Street)

• Mobile Street (from E 2nd Street to Buschman Street) - will open at 8 a.m.

• Ronie Street (from E Laurel to Hardy Street)

• Access to South 17th Avenue from Hardy Street

• Access to South 19th Avenue from Hardy Street

Detour routes are established with signage where necessary, and some closures will open once all runners are through the intersection. Long stretches of the race will take place on:

• Adeline Street

• Mamie Street

• Concart Street

• Camp Street

• 21st Avenue

• 22nd Avenue

• West 4th Street
