SUBJECT: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING CLOSURE OF DOWNTOWN CITY STREETS FOR THE
SAN RAFAEL MILE & 5K ON SUNDAY, JULY 12TH, 2015 FROM 4 A.M. TO 11:00 A.M.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve Resolution
BACKGROUND: The Downtown (Miracle) Mile is now entering its seventh year as a significant fundraiser for
local non -profits. In past years the event raised funds for the San Rafael High School Athletic Program and
Girls on the Run (Marin Chapter). Whole Foods is the race title sponsor and will select a non-profit for this
year's race. The success and popularity of this local event is best exemplified in the growth of the field of
athletes from just over one hundred and fifty in 2009 and continues to grow each year.
ANALYSIS: The Downtown (Miracle) Mile is a "sprint" through our downtown and this year is hoping to
achieve a record breaking sub -four minute mile record for an outdoor course. The San Rafael 5K race will
feature a variety of neighborhoods in San Rafael focusing the start and finish on Fourth Street in the core of
our Downtown. The event brings about a thousand athletes and supporters into our City, and maintains its low
impact due to being held early on Sunday morning. Cross traffic on Fourth Street will be allowed intermittently
and traffic monitors will work with the Police Department to conduct a safe event. There will also be an
Exposition on A Street during the event featuring demonstrations in the latest athletic items, sampling,
giveaways' and sponsor recognition. We will also be engaging CERT volunteers to support the Police with
traffic and safety.
FISCAL IMPACT: As is common with many of our Special Events overtime expenses have will be paid by the
event producers. The City will be providing some in-kind services including No Parking signage, event
coordination and planning with other City Departments.

1) Approve Resolution as presented
