YMCA Half Marathon Takes Place Sunday

This Sunday marks the 34th annual YMCA Half-Marathon beginning at 12:30 p.m. Keep in mind that there will be many road closures and slow downs throughout the afternoon as participants make their way through the city.  Also taking place is the 1km Fun Run, and the 5km Walk/Run.  Good luck to all runners! (You can watch for me in the 5km, I'll surely be at the back of the pack!)
