RUNNER SAFETY & ROUTE CONDITIONS
Runners must obey all traffic rules.  The Huskers 5K is a flat route along well-marked city streets, sidewalks, and rural highways.
No pets, rollerblades, bikes, or headsets, please.  
We will have a few officials riding the route on ATVs to assist runners if needed.
Printed route maps will be available at the registration table on the day of the run.
It tends to be a warm event, so please make sure to take that into your training and pre-event hydration.

WATER STATIONS & RESTROOMS
Several water stations will be provided along the route. There will be portable restrooms/running water near the Registration Start/Stop at 106 S. Washington.
