Lengths of many Kirkland roads will close from 8-11 a.m. on race day, with police helping residents get in and out of driveways and side streets. The roads will re-open after the last racer has passed.

Race organizers have said they will donate $200 dollars to Kirkland neighborhood associations (through which the race passes) that provide 15 or more volunteers. Contact your neighborhood association for more information.
