The Run for Education is Sunday morning at the Outlets at Legends, near the Sparks Marina. Sparks Police say this event will impact traffic in the area, as well as access to the mall from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.
Officials say about several thousand runners, both adult and children, are expected to participate. Road closures will affect southbound Sparks Boulevard from Baring Boulevard to East Lincoln Way. For the safety of the runners, vehicle traffic will not be allowed on southbound Sparks Boulevard during the run. Drivers are urged to avoid Lillard Way, Boxington Way and East Lincoln Way, but can use the roads if need be.
Access to the Legends at the Sparks Marina area will also be restricted. Access to stores and restaurants such as Target, T.J. Maxx, and BJs Restaurant and Brewhouse will have to enter the mall using East Lincoln Way on the west side of the mall (from the area of the Sparks Marina). Access to businesses such as Lowe’s, Fitness for 10, and Discount Tire may be made using Big Fish Drive.
