"MILE ON MAIN STREET" ROAD RACE
FOR THE CITY OF AMES
WHEREAS, the Iowa State Running Club plans to hold its second "Mile on Main Street"
run on Saturday, September 16, 2017, and the race will begin at 9:00 a.m.; and,
WHEREAS, race organizers have coordinated this event with the Downtown Farmer's
Market organizers, and it is anticipated that about 130 runners will participate; and,
WHEREAS, to facilitate this event, organizers are requesting the closure of 21 metered
parking spaces on Burnett Avenue; and,
WHEREAS, because of the short duration of the event and the small number of runners
involved, organizers have not requested that parking be suspended along the race route; and,
WHEREAS, race organizers will go door-to-door in the affected areas with race information,
and will follow up again the week before the event; and,
WHEREAS, the organizers have received a letter of support from the Main Street Cultural
District; and,
WHEREAS, this event was successfully held last year, and because it involves a smaller
group of runners and vehicles do not need to be moved out of the race area, there will be less
disruption to residents in this area compared to a larger race.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames, Iowa,
that the closure of 21 metered parking spaces on Burnett Avenue for the "Mile on Main Street"road
race on Saturday, September 16, 2017, is hereby approved.
