SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing closure of Downtown City Streets for the San Rafael
Mile & 415mile on Sunday, July 21st, 2013 from 4am to 10:00am.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt resolution authorizing the closure of Downtown City
Streets for the San Rafael Mile & 415mile on Sunday, July 21 st, 2013 from 4am to
1 0:00am.
BACKGROUND: The Downtown (Miracle) Mile is now entering its fifth year is a
fundraiser for San Rafael High School Athletic Program and Girls on the Run (Marin
Chapter). The event has grown from it's inception with one hundred and fifty athletes to
over several thousand participants in 2013. This successful event brings approximately
two thousand or more athletes and supporters into our City.
DISCUSSION: In 2013, the Downtown (Miracle) Mile is adding an overlapping event
called the 415mile to increase benefits to the non -profits and grow the unique aspect of
the event with a five mile course. The five mile race will feature a variety of
neighborhoods in San Rafael focusing the start and finish on Fourth Street in the core of
our Downtown. Though the course runs through several neighborhoods, the event has a
low impact due to being held early on Sunday morning.
Approve resolution authorizing the following street closures:
San Rafael 415mile closures:
1. Fourth Street, eastbound, from Lincoln Ave. to Cijos Street for production and event
start (5 mile race)
2. Fourth Street from Cijos Street to H Street, for production and event (5 mile race)
3. H Street north bound from Fourth Street to Fifth Avenue,
