Cedar Rapids Run the Flood

Race Day

OVERALL GUIDELINES & SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Both the 2.5 and 7 mile run/walk are City Council approved routes. This is approved as a fundraiser event on city streets and sidewalks, starting at 9AM until 12:00 (noon). However, since traffic will not shut down along routes at all times, participants must be aware of other pedestrians, cyclists, and traffic along the route, following all traffic rules to ensure participant safety. Also, please note that there are homes along the route. Some have been rebuilt, some are in the process, and some still need attention. Regardless, please be respectful of all property at all times. In the event that a home is in the process of being rebuilt, please use caution when running or walking around debris.

RACE DAY PARKING

Street parking is free on Saturdays in downtown Cedar Rapids, however, 3rd Ave SE and 4th Ave SE will be closed for the race, so arrive early if you intend to park in the street. There is a parking garage located on 5th Ave SE. 5th Ave SE is a one way toward the east (away from the river). The entrance and exit for this garage is on 5th Ave SE so this will remain open the entire day.
