Old Bend and River West neighborhoods,
I know your neighborhoods have been extremely busy in recent months which is why I wanted to give you a heads up that the City is processing the permit request for a running event called the Bend Beer Chase, a 70-mile, one-day, six-person running relay consisting of 12 legs of varying distance, which will pass through your neighborhoods on the evening of Saturday, October 11. City staff have asked race organizers to be exceptionally diligent in signage and other neighborhood considerations. There is no traffic control program, meaning, traffic will not be stopped. Runners are required to follow regular pedestrian rules. Below I’ve attached the route map as it passes through your areas. Please be aware of runners on the road.
See: http://bendbeerchase.cascaderelays.com for more info.
Thank you,
Anne
