Information: The race will start on North Broad Street at the corner of Broad and Monroe Streets, near the U.S. Post Office and end on the same street a half-block from the starting point. After the starting gun sounds, runners will proceed down Broad Street, and turn left onto Smith Avenue (U.S. 84 East).After approximately 2.2 miles, the course turns left again onto Pine Tree Boulevard, a five-lane stretch of pavement and winds through a shopping area and in front of the old Central Middle School, where the Yellow Jacket Band, under the direction of Michial Mayhall, will be playing at the corner of Pine Tree Boulevard and Patterson Street.
