Road closures cause runner confusion during local race, Summerville SC
Road ClosureDuring a local running event on Waring St and nearby streets, temporary road closures were set up and traffic controlled. However, runners experienced confusion over the race route, with some running onto streets they were not supposed to use, such as Carolina St. Officials worked to redirect the runners back to the correct path near the church and ensured intersections were properly managed before the longer race segment started. The incident involved coordination between race staff and emergency responders, with some distraction due to a fire alarm responding simultaneously.
