Shamrock & Roll 5k to affect your trip to church Sunday, March 6

With spring on the horizon, New Haven's vibrant athletic community begins to shake off the winter torpor, and the downtown road racing season begins. Our friends at the Shamrock & Roll 5k have alerted us that their race on Sunday morning will close large portions of Whitney Avenue and Grove Street during the 9:00 hour. Please build in extra time to your Sunday trip to church, and we recommend avoiding routes that pass through the East Rock neighborhood if possible.
