Hosting the inaugural Geist Half Marathon & 5K will be a great opportunity for us to showcase our great community to thousands of runners and volunteers. Hosting a 13.1 mile event the morning of Saturday, May 16th will also come with some inconveniences for many of you living along the race route. Cambridge in particular will see excessive traffic from both the 5K and Half Marathon.
Springstone Road will be closed from 7:30 am – 8:45 am!
- Number of Participants: Approximately 3,500 participants, 500 volunteers (over 5,000 spectators)

- Road Closures: During the time that participants are passing through Cambridge, all roads that connect into Springstone Road will be closed as well. There will be breaks in the runners and police will allow you to exit/enter Cambridge during those times.
- Parking: All participants, spectators and volunteers are being instructed to park at the HSE High School and shuttles will be taking them to and from the start and finish areas. While police will be regulating traffic, we will not have anyone regulating parking along the race route. Be advised that you might see spectator traffic parking on cul-de-sacs or on side streets.
- Waterstop: Cambridge will be hosting the largest waterstop along the race route near Cocktail Cove (see the “W” on the map). We need volunteers to staff and clean up. If you are interested in volunteering, you do receive a volunteer t-shirt and admission into the post party tent the Geist Marina.
- Entertainment: Live entertainment will be stationed at 96th and Springstone Road. As their enthusiasm increases, so may their volume. We will do our best to keep the sound to a manageable level during the race.
