Recommendation and Review

The Harrisonburg Youth TryAthlon is an annual event that takes place in and around Westover Park. This event serves as an introduction to triathlons for kids between the ages of 5-17. The event organizer has requested the street closures on South Dogwood Drive from West Market Street to Ohio Avenue and South Willow from West Market Street to Grace Avenue.

 

This application was reviewed and approved by the Special Events Committee on June 2, 2022.

 

The total cost of this event is estimated to be around $1500. The event organizer is responsible for payment of applicable charges.

 

Key Issues: 

- PW Support (street closures, no parking signage, digital message boards)

- HPD Support (off-duty officers)

- HFD Support (EMS support)

- P&R Support (event logistics)
