This weeks run will have only two official water stops. Both at the skating rink in the north end.   the route is designed to take runners by the several water fountains on the river.  The BAC will be open but there will not be a board member there to hand out cue sheets  so PRINT YOUR OWN SHEET nor will there be an official water stop and clean up crew.  Unless someone running wants to take this on.  SO bring your own water and please be sure the BAC is spotless when you leave.  These changes had to be made because of the high volume of members doing the Falmouth Road Race.
