    City of Sedona ArizonaSedona AZ (January 24, 2017) – The Sedona Marathon, Half-Marathon, 10K and 5K event will be held on Feb. 4 beginning at 9 a.m. The course travels on Dry Creek Road from Sedona onto Boynton Canyon Road (FS 152C) and then onto Boynton Pass Road (FS 152C) and returns the same route. Throughout most of the morning hours and into the late afternoon there will be signs indicating that runners are on the roadway; the speed limit is 15 mph; and to be prepared to stop. In the morning, if heavy vehicular traffic is deemed unsafe for the large amount of runners along Boynton Canyon Road, a temporary road closure with a pilot vehicle will be used to provide a safer environment for event participants. Boynton Canyon Road will quickly re-open and provide complete traffic access.

    The city of Sedona will be closing Dry Creek Road from State Route 89A to just south of Thunder Mountain Road from 8:45 a.m. until approximately 10:30 a.m., as part of the event. Dry Creek Road will re-open and provide complete traffic access after this short closure. This temporary road closure will impact street access to White Bear Road, Kachina Drive (5K Race Route), and Remuda Road. Access to State Route 89A via Thunder Mountain Road may also experience short delays depending on runner traffic along Dry Creek Road. A signed detour route has been planned via Andante Drive to Thunder Mountain Road.

    Other temporary road closures include Navoti Drive at Bristlecone Pines Road, both connections of Rimstone Circle on Navoti Drive, Calle Del Sol at SR 89A , and a west bound lane on SR 89A. Please observe all traffic control devices and signage during the event.

    Area residents are encouraged to plan traffic-related activities prior to or after the scheduled road closure and delays. Sedona Police Officers and Sedona Fire District personnel will be available in your area in case of any emergency needs or service requests.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
