Subject: Village Council Agenda Item for August 2005; Consideration
To Host 2045 Run 4 The Pies.
Please place the following item on the Consent Agenda. for Council's consideration as a
house keeping matter.
For the past six years, the Village of Tequesta has hosted an annual run on T'hanksgiving
Day through the str�ets of Tequesta. Over the years, the event has grown to over 600
runners. There are runners from the Tequesta. area and runners from all over the United
States who participate in this event. The event has received both local & na.tional
attention. The Village of Tequesta. is mentioned in several national magazine publicatians
(i.e., Runners World Magazine).
The event is to held on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 24, 2005. The event gets
started around 6:00 am and usually concludes by 9:30 am. There will be several
temporary road closures. These raad closures usually last only a few minutes. All roads
will remain accessible to emergency vehicles. Last year, the course was changed to
minimize the temporary road closures; and we did not receive any complaints from the
public. Both Village Police Department & Martin County Sheriffs Office, were on patrol
throughout the course for the entire event. Also, there are numerous volunteers
throughout the course to assist runners.
Thank you for your consideration on this matter.
