Safety Alert for 204th Street and Covington & Devonshire Neighborhoods: Saturday, April 20th, 8:30 am Please be aware that the Guardian Run will be held this Saturday, April 20th, starting at 8:30 am. The race will start on the south driveway of Gretna High School (between GHS and Gretna United Methodist Church), travel down 204th street to the Covington Blvd, through Covington 1 & 2, entering the GHS track using the gate at Brentwood Drive, and finishing on the track at the GHS stadium. Streets will be closed ahead of the race and reopened as soon as runners have cleared the street. Look for signs along the route in the days leading up to the race. The race is the final event for the Guardian Running Clubs at all seven Gretna Public elementary schools. There are potentially 385 runners in the event this year, along with a parent or sibling, so it could be quite a large event. For their safety, we have course monitors placed at each intersection, and Sarpy County Sheriff Deputies will be leading and patrolling the route. If you know you need to leave from/arrive in your neighborhood between 8:30 am and 9:15 am that morning, please consider doing so outside of this timeframe so you aren't delayed. Traffic will be held until runners clear out. If you are home and would like to cheer, line the route above and cheer on our runners! Thank you! Jill Johnson Jeff Spilinek Race Directors
