The Torch Relay is one of several Greensboro Bicentennial Kick-Off events. The relay will touch our neighborhood in several spots, Tuesday, March 25, 4-7. Several Aycock neighbors will be running.
Relay begins at 4 p.m. at War Memorial Stadium at corner of Yanceyville and Lindsay streets. From there, the relay will wind through NC A& T and surrounding neighborhoods, before heading over to other northeast Greensboro neighborhoods, including the Cone Mills neighborhood.
Eventually, late in the route, the relay will head south on Summit, meeting up with Bessemer, where runners will head west, eventually taking a left (heading south) on Cypress Street (at Aycock Middle School). The relay will run the length of Cypress, crossing Yanceyville, dead-ending at Percy, cutting through Brandon to continue north on Chestnut to Hendrix, back to Yanceyville, back to Bessemer, crossing over the bridge, across Church and into Fisher Park!
I'm out of breath just mapping it!
Speaking of maps:
Be prepared to cheer on the relayers--or at least to slow down during your drive home Tuesday.
