Streets approaching and around City Hall will be closed for a longer period of time but will reopen following all Jonquil City Jog activities. Please plan accordingly and follow the directions of Police Officers and Race Course Officials. Signage will be posted this week at intersections along the course is posted to alert you to the temporary lane and intersection access closures.

The course begins at City Hall and follows a route behind the Community Center to Atlanta Road. Runners will then enter Atlanta Road, cross over Concord/Spring and continue down Atlanta Road to Campbell Middle School where the course returns and crosses over Concord/Spring again before leaving Atlanta Road at Church where it moves into our downtown via King Street. The area in front of and around City Hall will be closed to vehicles as the 1-mile fun run begins following the 5K. Once the 1-mile (that loops around City Hall) finishes, vehicle access to the streets along the back side of City Hall will open, but the area in front of City Hall as well as a portion of Bank Street will remain closed for the Tot Trot and the awards ceremony. King Street will reopen following event cleanup.
Registration on Saturday opens at 7:00 am. The 5K starts at 8:00 am - 1-mile at approximately 9:00 am with the Tot Trot to follow.
