Cal State University Parking and Transportation Services must close roads when there will be heavy pedestrian traffic. Signs have been posted near entrance roads and parking lots. Campus regulations mandate that signs be put up at least 72 hours before the event.

Four parking service employees will set up barricades and cones. Then, one employee will gather the equipment as areas become clear, according to Field Service's Operation Manager Alan Moore.

"The race starts at 9 a.m. People finish at their own pace. Last year, people started finishing in 45 minutes," Shelia Hill, host of the 5k Run/Walk, said.

These street signs were posted Tuesday in nine different areas on campus.
