Commission discusses Resolution Run safety as organizers seek growth; permit approved
Summary
The commission approved the Resolution Run (New Year's Eve) and flagged safety planning after commissioners reported cars entering the course during past races; staff and public safety will increase volunteer staffing at intersections.
Derek briefed the commission on the Resolution Run, a long‑standing New Year's Eve race that organizers say they want to grow (the organizer's goal cited a target of up to 1,000 runners next year). He noted organizer changes and more active promotion and said public-safety coordination will continue as participation grows.
A commissioner recalled that "there was a car that came on the course during the kids' race and several during the full race" and urged increased volunteer staffing and closer public-safety coordination at intersections. Derek said the public-safety team conducts post‑race debriefs and staff will keep working with organizers to strengthen traffic control and volunteer coverage.
