Approval of Village to Village 11K road race to be held Sat., Nov. 15, 2014
Body
ISSUE: Bill Monahan with Zone5Events, a race management company, has requested approval for the Village to Village 11K to be held in Smyrna Sat., Nov. 15, 2014, starting at 8:00 a.m. and ending by 9:45 a.m. This is the second year Zone5Events (Bill Monahan) is requesting the event to be held in the city of Smyrna--inaugural race held in November 2013. A portion of the race proceeds from the event will benefit the Smyrna Public Safety Foundation.
BACKGROUND: The staging for all of the pre/post-race activities would be from the corner of King Street and Bank Street up to and around the roundabout in front of the community center and library. Also, Village Green Circle SE from Atlanta Road up to and around the roundabout would need to be used as well for the start and finish of the race. We would ask for the streets mentioned to be closed off during the duration of the event. The staging area will consist of the start/finish line, vendor tents/booths, porta-potties, announcer/deejay, refreshments and awards ceremony. The beginning time and end time would be around 5:00 a.m. for initial setup until 10:45 a.m. for breakdown and cleanup.
The event will be staged at the Village Green by the community center and Smyrna Public Library. The race course would consist of the following: The start of the race would begin at or very close to the roundabout by the community center and library. Participants would turn right onto Atlanta Road running all the way down to the West Village and turning right onto West Atlanta Road going around another roundabout and turning back onto Atlanta Road and heading back to the starting point, which now is the finish line at the community center.
