Title
Resolution to Approve Street Closings for the Dexter-Ann Arbor Run on Sunday, August 15, 2021
Memorandum
The attached resolution is requesting approval to close various streets and provide other services to accommodate the annual Dexter-Ann Arbor running races sponsored by the Ann Arbor Track Club on Sunday, August 15, 2021. The races involve more than 5,000 participants and volunteers. Proceeds benefit the Hope Clinic and Karen's Trail.
The race was ran virtually for 2020 due to the pandemic. The applicant had requested June 6, 2021 as their first choice but, based on current data, staff cannot recommend this date. The COVID safety plan is attached for your review. If the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) does not significantly increase the allowable number of participants for external events prior to April 30, this will become a virtual run.
